The extraction of pavement cracks is always a hard task in image processing. In airport and
road construction, cracking is the main factor for pavement damage, which can decrease the …

Compacted graphite iron (CGI) is a double-phase material, in which complex graphite
morphology greatly influences crack initiation and propagation. Despite its wide use and …

A multiscale graph theory-based approach is introduced here to predict the microscale crack
path in polycrystalline materials. The crack path is represented as the boundary of the …

In brittle fracture applications, failure paths, regions where the failure occurs and damage
statistics, are some of the key quantities of interest (QoI). High-fidelity models for brittle …

Strain analysis is an essential step in sheet forming applications to understand the
deformation behaviour of the material. The strain analysis is conventionally performed by …

Single point strain analysis (SPSA) is a software developed to measure surface strains in
sheet metal forming operations. For this, the images of deformed circular and square grids …

We introduce a novel computational framework designed to allow an experimentalist to
extract the local toughness associated with crack growth along an individual grain boundary …

This paper provides a novel approach for mesh generation for materials that have distinct
spatial components with a smooth boundary between them. Experimental data are used in …

A primary challenge in modeling polycrystalline materials under large deformation is
capturing strong strain localizations, in the form of micro-scale sharp shear bands. Classical …

With emerging paradigm of integrated computational materials engineering (ICME)[1], multi-
scale design optimization approaches for tailoring engineering properties through controlled …
