This paper reports the research results on the continuum theory of damage which goes back
to the works of Kachanov, Gurson, and Rabotnov. In these models, internal variables that …

Microstructure-based constitutive models for multiphase steels require accurate constitutive
properties of the individual phases for component forming and performance simulations. We …

This work develops a two-scales macro-micro approach to address the challenge in
calibrating crystal plasticity microstructural models when samples undergo necking prior to …

Bending is an important strain path in various metal forming operations as well as vehicle
crashworthiness. In the present study, the bending behavior of an extruded aluminum alloy …

In this study, the sequence of microstructural events leading to failure and the relationship
between crystallographic texture, shear band development, micro-crack initiation and …

Tensile armor is usually made of flat pearlitic steel wires and produced in a manufacturing
sequence as follows: hot-rolling→ patenting treatment (PT)→ cold forming→ wire coiling→ …

Second phase particles and particle stringers have strong influences on recrystallized grain
structure and alloy performances. In this work, the effects of second phase particles on grain …

The mechanism triggering failure during deformation in Al–Mg alloys often includes
localization of the plastic flow into narrow and intense transgranular shear bands …

Elevated temperature has significant effect on the mechanical response of metals and
alloys. Industrial processes often use high temperature forming to fabricate components of …

The micromechanical properties of the constituent phases were characterized for advanced
high-strength steels (AHSS) produced by a quenching and partitioning (Q&P) process with …
