Twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steel exhibits high strength and exceptional plasticity due to the formation of extensive twin under mechanical load and its ultimate tensile strength and elongation to failure ductility-value can be as high as 5×104 MPa%, which provide a new choice for automobile in developing the lightweight and improving safety. Generally, due to the texture was formed during process of plastic deformation, metal material appear anisotropic behavior. The deformation mechanisms, responsible for this high strain hardening, are related to the strain-induced microstructural changes, which was dominated by slip and twinning. Different deformation mechanisms, which can be activated at different stages of deformation, will strongly influence the stress strain response and the evolution of the microstructure. In this work, to predict the texture evolution under different loading conditions and understand these two deformation mechanisms of plastic deformation process, a polycrystal plasticity constitutive model of TWIP steel coupling slip and twinning was developed based on the crystal plasticity theory and single crystal plasticity constitutive model. A polycrystal homogenization method to keep geometry coordination and stress balance adjacent grains was used, which connected the state variables of single crystal and polycrystal. And then the model was implemented and programed based on the ABAQUS/UMAT platform. The texture evolution was obtained by EBSD at strain 0.27 and 0.60, respectively. The finite element models of tensile, compression and torsion processes were built by using the constitutive model. The mechanical response and texture evolution during plastic deformation process of TWIP steel were analyzed. The results show that with the increasing of the strain, the strain hardening phenomenon and texture density enhanced during the tensile process. Although texture types changed, texture density unchanged during the compression process. Owing to deformation increasing along the diameter direction, there is no obvious texture inside the cylinder when torsion deformation is small, texture emerged and enhanced gradually with the increasing of strain.
