In polycrystalline materials, void growth is strongly dependent on its surrounding
microstructural environment such as grain morphologies, crystallographic orientations and …

In this work, a 3-dimensional (3D) crystal plastic finite element method (CPFEM) combined
with the qualitative analysis of slip thermodynamics and kinetics is applied to study the co …

Electron beam welding is an autogenous welding process that leads to microstructural
heterogeneities; crystallographic texture, elongated and larger grain size relative to the …

Despite the fact that the Two-Way Shape Memory Effect (TWSME) has been demonstrated in
most Shape Memory Alloys, the effective application of this unique functional behaviour is …

Grain refinement is an important mechanism to produce stronger alloys. Strain hardening is
an essential phenomenon in metal forming processes. The interaction between grain size …

In this study, both the digital image correlation (DIC) and depth-sensing indentation (DSI)
