Abstract In the presence of large plastic strains in quasi-statically loaded metal bodies, one observes grains divided into subgrains (regions with uniformly oriented crystal lattice separated by the boundaries of its misalignment), i.e., there arises a new spatially modulated structure of misalignments of the lattice [1, 2]. In this work, a model of this phenomenon is proposed on the basis of the following assumptions: (1) locally, the deformable crystal medium under investigation is an interpenetrating system of a material and a lattice; the material is capable of arbitrary affine change in shape due to crystallographic slip, and the lattice admits only deflections and twists [3]; (2) the structural transition in the stressed medium is connected with the material instability in the sense of Hill [4, 5]; this instability is caused by the effects of geometrical nonlinearity (geometrical softening) [6]; (3) at the instant when the material loses stability, the load starts being borne by the lattice which is subjected to deflection or torsion when resisting, and that is why there appears a spatially modulated structure of deflections and twists of the lattice.

On the basis of these assumptions, equilibrium equations are constructed for the crystal medium as a geometrically nonlinear Cosserat continuum. The Cosserat continuum [7] is a material whose particles possess spin. In the present paper, this spin is identified with the spin of the lattice, and the torque equilibrium equation serves an the equation for the spin variable. We construct constitutive equations that take into account mechanisms of local change in shape of the crystal medium. The constants of flexural rigidity in these equations provide our model with a scale. These equations serve for the investigation of equilibrium bifurcations of the medium and are, therefore, stated for active loading (with possible load relief neglected) [8]. Moreover, these equations are geometrically nonlinear and contain a mechanism of destabilization of the deformation process. The constitutive equations and the equilibrium equations are written for velocities in terms of the current Lagrangian approach [9]. The presence of the lattice corotational derivative, rather than the Jaumann derivative, in the constitutive equations makes the system non-conservative; the non-conservative system is studied by the dynamic method.

A model problem is formulated for the uniaxial compression of a two-dimensional unbounded homogeneous single-crystal body along the axis of cubic symmetry of its properties. As the boundary conditions it is required that the displacement rates and the lattice spin are bounded at infinity. We find a bifurcation point beyond which the loss of stability occurs with the formation of a rectangular cell structure or a wave structure (along the compression axis), depending on the ratio of the shear moduli. In any two neighboring cells, the spin is different in sign, and this allows us to consider such cells as "nuclei" of subgrains whose boundaries have not yet been formed completely. Thus, the model describes the tendencies eventually resulting in a subgrain structure. In the limit case of a moment-free medium [10] corresponding to zero flexural rigidity of the lattice, this effect cannot be described at all. For fixed moduli and supercritical stresses, the size of the cells grows with the increase of the flexural rigidity of the lattice. Of principal importance for cell formation is the anisotropy of the medium, as well as its stress state. Under a pure shear stress acting along the axis of symmetry of the medium properties, there arises an oblique cellular structure or a wave structure inclined at an angle of 45°, depending on the ratio of the shear moduli.
