%X The plastic anisotropy was measured for a commercial AZ31 magnesium sheet and compared with results from a model calculation using a self consistent viscoplastic model. The,anisotropy of plastic flow stresses can be explained by the off-basal character of the texture and the,activation of the <a> prismatic slip in addition to the basal, <c+a> pyramidal slip and the,> < 1 1 01 } 2 1 01 { twinning system. The strain anisotropy r ( r = ew/et ; ew, et – strains in width and,thickness directions of a sheet material ), as obtained from model calculations, fits qualitatively with,in-situ measured values. Results from these model calculations are compared with texture,simulations and discussed in further consideration of the microstructure of the sheet material.
