These results show that except basal slip and prismatic slip, {10■2} extension twin(ET) also plays a significant role during plastic deformation. With the increasing tilted angle between loading direction and rolling direction(RD) of sheet, the activity of {10■2} ET possesses a decreasing tendency and its role in plastic deformation changes from the one mainly sustaining plastic strain to the one mainly accommodating local strain between individual grains. When {10■2} ET serves as a carrier of plastic strain, it mainly results in the formation of basal texture component(c-axis//ND, normal direction). By comparison, when the role of {10■2} ET is to accommodate local strain, it mainly brings about the formation of prismatic texture component(c-axis//TD, transverse direction). At large plastic deformation, the competition between basal slip and pyramidal<c+a> slip is responsible for the concentration of tilted basal poles towards ND within all deformed samples. The larger difference is between the activities of basal slip and pyramidal <c+a> slip, the smaller separation is between these two tilted basal poles. Besides,VPSC modeling overesttmates volume fractions of {10■2} ET in samples with angle of 0 to 30° between loading direction and RD of sheet because interactions between twin variants are not included in VPSC modeling procedure at the present form. In addition, as compatible deformation between individual grains cannot be considered in VPSC modeling, the predicted volume fractions of {10■2} ET in samples with angle of 45 to 90° between loading direction and RD of sheet are smaller than the correspondingly measured results.展开更多
