Roughening of the matt surface of pack rolled aluminium foil has been modelled. The model is based on the finite element method using isotropic plasticity. A distribution in material properties has been used to simulate the distribution of orientations through the material. The predictions of roughness show good quantitative agreement with the experiments.
