Uranium polycrystal aggregates accumulate large plastic deformation during thermal cycling in a process known as thermal ratcheting. This process is induced by highly anisotropic …
Deformation-induced twinning is an important mechanism in metals with a limited number of slip deformation modes. The mechanisms for twin nucleation and growth are not completely …
Calibrating and verifying crystal plasticity material models is a significant challenge, particularly for materials with a number of potential slip and twin systems. Here we use …
The deformation behaviour of coarse-grained α-uranium is studied using crystal plasticity finite element simulations. The constitutive model includes 8 slip and 2 twin systems, based …
The strong thermoelastic–plastic anisotropy of single crystal, orthorhombic α-uranium leads to the generation of significant thermal residual stresses (TRSs) after cooling from the …
