Macro-deformation is an average over the microscopic deformations (Hill, Proc. Roy. Soc. London A, 1972)
Decompose deformation gradient in the microstructure as a sum of macro deformation gradient and a micro-fluctuation field

VIRTUAL WORK CONSIDERATIONS
Hill Mandel condition: The variation of the internal work performed by macroscopic stresses on arbitrary virtual displacements of the microstructure is required to be equal to the work performed by external loads on the microstructure. (Hill, J Mech Phys Solids, 1963)
Apply boundary condition
Homogenized stresses
Must be valid for arbitrary variations of F

EVOLUTION EQUATION FOR THE ODF (Eulerian)
v – re-orientation velocity: how fast are the crystals reorienting
r – current orientation of the crystal.A – is the ODF, a scalar field;
Constitutive sub-problem
Taylor hypothesis: deformation gradient (F) in each crystal of the polycrystal is same
as the macroscopic deformation gradient.
