Microplasticity, a behavior lies between elasticity and macroplasticity, is not only closely
related to the origin of plasticity in crystalline materials, but also profoundly affects the …

Multiscale stresses and strains in polycrystalline metals are always inhomogeneous. In this
study, a rate-independent crystal plasticity formulation was implemented for a cubic …

We present a fully embedded implementation of a full-field crystal plasticity model in an
implicit finite element (FE) framework, a combination which realizes a multiscale approach …

Titanium alloy is prominent in manufacturing of high-performance miniature devices, while
size-affected plastic heterogeneity and asymmetry in micro-scaled deformation are not well …

Understanding the mesoscale heterogeneous deformation and its induced material damage
is significant to enhance the mechanical properties of polycrystalline aggregates. In this …

The mechanical response of multiphase metallic materials is governed by the strain and
stress partitioning behavior among their phases, crystals, and subgrains. Despite knowledge …

One of key factors in designing high-performance alloys is to understand their incipient
behavior. To get detailed real-time atomic scale evolutions of multi-principal element alloys …

Multi–principal element alloys (MPEAs) containing three or more components in high
concentrations render a tunable chemical short-range order (SRO). Leveraging large-scale …

Dynamic recrystallization (DRX), heterogeneous deformation and mechanical responses at
the levels of single grain and grains aggregate concurrently occur and interact with each …

Additively manufactured metal alloys often have a hierarchical microstructure consisting of
subgrain features. The subgrain features, being smaller in size than grains, significantly …
