Although several strategies (including grain refinement, texture adjustment, precipitation
hardening, etc.) have been verified to effectively improve the mechanical properties of …

It is one concern of the researchers how magnesium (Mg) alloys solidify under different
conditions and how their microstructure evolves during solidification, and what are the …

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

Most of the high-strength Mg alloys exhibit poor ductility at room temperature. Architecturing
appropriate heterostructure in metallic materials gives rise to the breakthrough of the …

Tensile twinning is a main deformation mode in hexagonal close packed structure metals, so
it is important to comprehensively understand twinning mechanisms which are not fully …

Titanium alloy is prominent in manufacturing of high-performance miniature devices, while
size-affected plastic heterogeneity and asymmetry in micro-scaled deformation are not well …

A non-local method for the establishment of geometrically necessary dislocation (GND)
based on a non-local domain integral has been developed and incorporated into crystal …

Additively manufactured (AM) materials are prone to porosity, which limits their widespread
adoption in fatigue-limited applications. Experimental campaigns are vital in understanding …

Fuel cladding and structural components made of zirconium alloys, used in light and heavy
water nuclear reactors, exhibit, during normal operation, significant in-reactor deformation …

Grain boundary (GB) is an important microstructure and plays a vital role in the mechanical
properties of polycrystalline materials by GB migration and sliding. In this work, molecular …
