A crystal plasticity model accounting for damage evolution and ductile failure in a single
crystal due to the presence of voids or micro-cracks is presented. An accurate, robust and …

In this work, we have brought to light the effect of material orientation on void growth. For that
purpose, we have performed finite element calculations using a cubic unit-cell model with a …

The yielding, plastic flow and fracture of textured aluminium alloys depend on their
microstructure formed during the thermo-mechanical processing. In this work, we investigate …

In this paper, we investigate how the shear-modified Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN)
model can be used to reveal the effect of manufacturing-process-induced porosity on the …

The yielding, plastic flow and fracture of age hardenable aluminium alloys depend on the
quench rate to room temperature after the solution heat-treatment at elevated temperature …

During laser directed energy deposition (LDED), the complex microstructure created by
multiple rapid heating and cooling cycles results in the uneven performance of the parts …

The influence of microstructure on plasticity and fracture of three 6000-series aluminum
alloys is studied with emphasis on the anisotropy caused by the extrusion process. Tension …

Tension tests on smooth and notched specimens were conducted for four 6000-series
aluminium alloys to assess the effects of constituent particles on ductile fracture at different …

The current work was motivated by the increasing use of hollow aluminum extruded profiles
for automotive applications and the need for a better understanding of the mechanical …

Modelling and simulation are important tools during design and development processes. For
accurate predictions of, eg manufacturing processes or final product performance, reliable …
