Abstract: A modified cellular automata (CA) model of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and a flow stress-based nucleation parameter identification method have been developed. In the method, the modified CA model, which takes the role of deformation degree on nucleation behavior into consideration, is coupled with an adaptive response surface model (ARSM) to search for the optimum nucleation parameter. The DRX behavior of an oxygen free high conductivity (OFHC) copper with different initial grain sizes has been taken as an example to validate the model. Good agreement is found between the simulated and the experimental results, which demonstrates that the new method can effectively improve the simulation accuracy.
