Upon irradiation, iron based steels used for nuclear applications contain dislocation loops of
both< 100> and ½< 111> type. Both types of loops are known to contribute to the radiation …

The stress-driven motion of dislocations in crystalline solids, and thus the ensuing plastic
deformation process, is greatly influenced by the presence or absence of various pointlike …

The thermo-mechanical behavior of non-irradiated (at 223 K, 302 K and 573 K) and neutron
irradiated (at 573 K) Fe-2.5 Cr, Fe-5Cr and Fe-9Cr alloys is studied by a self-consistent …

The mechanical behaviour of polycrystalline material is closely correlated to grain size. In
this study, we investigate the size-dependent phenomenon in multi-phase steels using a …

In this study, the interaction of edge dislocations with nano-scale voids was investigated for
the face centered cubic (FCC) structure of pure aluminum and Al-Mg alloy. The effect of Mg …

Various types of nanometric defects such as voids and helium (He) bubbles produced by
high-energy neutron irradiations are known to degrade the mechanical properties of …

Atomistic calculations are performed to investigate plastic slip in the< 1 1 1>{3 2 1} system in
body-centred cubic iron. Several modern interatomic potentials, developed over the last …

The need for energy and electricity in the modern society places large interest in producing
power in more efficient and environmentally friendly ways. Most of the new concepts also …

The objective of this research is to investigate the plastic deformation of heterogeneous
material with different microstructures including grain orientations, grain size effect, and …
