TSV-Cu is widely used for chip interconnects, where high testing costs and complex crystal
plasticity finite element (CPFE) limit the research of its deep microplastic evolution process …

This work investigates the hydrogen embrittlement (HE) behavior of Nickel-201 alloy using
experimental and numerical approaches. In experimentation, the effect of electrochemical …

Additive manufacturing of as-build metal materials with laser powder bed fusion typically
leads to the formations of various chemical phases and their corresponding microstructure …

Fatigue fracture is one of the main causes of structural failure under cyclic loading, so
accurate evaluation of fatigue fracture is very important for the design of structures subjected …

This work presents an adaptive phase field framework for the simulation of crack nucleation
and propagation in brittle materials subject to low-cycle loading. We introduce a fatigue …

In this paper, crack propagation behaviors in a weldment are simulated under cyclic
loadings using crystal plasticity finite element coupled with the XFEM. The result shows that …
