Spheroidized ferrite-cementite steel (SFC) is susceptible to micro-defects owing to the
mismatched deformation between the ferrite and cementite during cold forming, which …

Abstract Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) based surrogate models constitute an emerging
class of reduced order models of history-dependent material behavior. Recently, the authors …

During deformation of aluminum (Al) alloys, there are three kinds of voids being formed by
distinct mechanisms, ie, matrix-cracking voids (MCVs), particle-cracking voids (PCVs), and …

Heterophases, such as precipitates, inclusions, second phases, or reinforcement particles,
often drive void nucleation due to local incompatibilities in stresses/strains. This results in a …

A multiscale finite element simulation approach based on the probabilistic mean-field
method is proposed to predict the strength and ductile fracture of the cast aluminum (Al) …

To understand comprehensively the relationship between material ductility and stress state,
the new shear, shear-compression, and shear-tension specimens were specially designed …

The growth of an isolated spherical void at and near a grain boundary or a triple junction is
studied by means of full-field crystal plasticity simulations with explicit representation of the …

In this work, we study the effect of crystallographic orientation and applied triaxiality on the
growth of intragranular voids. Two 3D full-field micromechanics methods are used, the …

Radiation damage introduces a wide range of defects in structural materials depending on
the irradiation conditions. Irradiation-induced loops are known to lead to dislocation …

Creep fracture behaviour of tempered martensitic steels is generally governed by the
process of cavity nucleation, growth and coalescence into microcracks. Therefore, creep …
