Due to cracking, mechanical properties of brittle materials (without interruption of cracking)
have not been obtained by experiments. A novel method of using single nanoindentation is …

In this study, a continuum multiscale model based on discrete dislocation dynamics and
viscoplastic self-consistent theory is developed. The model is capable of describing the …

Assume that the physics on the microscale (interactions between atoms, molecules, defects
in crystals…) is understood. What is the appropriate mesoscale continuum theory for the …

Recently, post‐severe plastic deformation (SPD) shaping processes have attracted attention
because of the limited amount of data available on this topic. Herein, the formability of …

This chapter, outlines a multiscale dislocation-based plasticity framework coupling discrete
dislocation dynamics (DDD) with continuum dislocation-based plasticity. In this framework …

A quantized crystal plasticity (QCP) model, which connects emerging deformation physics
with the unique mechanical properties of nanocrystalline metals, is presented in this chapter …

Materials are, by their very nature, stochastic. Modeling materials across scales requires
models that capture this inherent stochasticity. In this chapter, preceding a section on …

Microstructure evolution of structural materials under fission/fusion irradiation conditions
lead to significant degradation to their mechanical properties. These effects include an …

Due to the inherent dangers associated with handling high explosive materials, it is often
useful to have access to inert simulant materials that mimic certain physical or mechanical …

Metal powder-based additive manufacturing (MPAM) methods can produce columnar grain
microstructures that can vary greatly in size and aspect ratio (AR). This can significantly …
