@sapitts can this be closed?
Not quite yet, please. I still need to make a child class for the HCP dislocation twinning and add a set of associated tests for that capability. I will make sure to use the Closes #
on that final merge request
Reason
After the face centered and body centered cubic crystals (FCC and BCC), the hexagonal close packed (HCP) crystal structure is the most commonly studied in microstructure-based models. The HCP lattice structure is different enough from the cubic lattice structures that new material models are required to study these materials using MOOSE.
Design
Three functionalities should be added to enable rudimentary HCP crystal plasticity modeling capabilities, following work published in the open literature:
Impact
Adding the capability to model the HCP lattice structure to MOOSE's crystal plasticity capabilities will broaden the number of materials that can be studied with MOOSE.
