Abstract :
[en] This paper presents a review of the main families of multiscale models. A first group of models is interested in an accurate modelling of the texture induced anisotropy of the material during numerical simulations. The differences between the proposed models are mainly due to different choices concerning the necessary compromise between the importance of the microscopic roots of the model and the maximum admissible computation time. The length scale of the investigated process is also an important parameter. The second group of micro-macro models is based on an analysis of the dislocation densities linked to the plastic deformations. A discussion concerning the past evolution, the recent achievements and the future trends concerning multiscale models is also provided.
