The influence of different types of precipitates (either Guinier-Preston zones, θ ″or θ′) on
the critical resolved shear stress and strain hardening was determined by means of …

The study presents crystal plasticity finite element simulations of cylindrical Cu single crystal
micropillar compression tests. The aim is to study the influence of the stability of the initial …

A multiscale modeling strategy is presented to determine the effective mechanical properties
of polycrystalline Ni-based superalloys. They are obtained by computational …

A model of a polycrystalline material is studied, where each grain consists of several zones
with different plastic properties. The size and configuration of the zones as well as their …

Crystalline elasticity anisotropy is often neglected in the study of microplasticity mechanisms
of polycrystals, even for highly anisotropic metals such as copper and austenite. A finite …

A unique approach to correlating an evolving 3D microstructure in an Al-Cu alloy and its
micro-scale mechanical properties has been introduced. Using these nanoscale three …

This paper presents a methodology for multiscale coupling between the morphology and
texture of a microstructure as has been characterised experimentally, and the results of …

The mechanisms of dislocation/precipitate interactions were analyzed in an Al–Cu alloy
containing a homogeneous dispersion of θ′ precipitates by means of discrete dislocation …

Incompatibility stresses can develop in bicrystals due to material elastic and plastic
anisotropies owing to different crystal orientations separated by grain boundaries. Here …

The aim of this study is to provide a tool, which is capable of studying, at a sub-grain level,
the formation and evolution of strain inhomogeneities at the surface of polycrystalline …
