In-situ SEM can intuitively observe the changes in microstructure and microcrack initiation
during the deformation process of the specimen. In this paper, the microstructural evolution …

During deformation of aluminum (Al) alloys, there are three kinds of voids being formed by
distinct mechanisms, ie, matrix-cracking voids (MCVs), particle-cracking voids (PCVs), and …

Martensitic transformation significantly increases the strength of low-carbon steels, while it is
usually at expense of the formability and ductility. In order to further improve the mechanical …

A multiscale finite element simulation approach based on the probabilistic mean-field
method is proposed to predict the strength and ductile fracture of the cast aluminum (Al) …

The use of vanadium-microalloying in ultrahigh strength dual phase (DP) steels has been
shown to yield a fine dispersion of nano-scale vanadium carbonitrides (V (C, N)) in ferrite …

Abstract Ultra-high strength (> 1 GPa) dual-phase (DP) steels have been extensively
investigated in literature. Yet, the damage tolerance of these DP steels remains mostly …

The steels with excellent strength and ductility are expected to be achieved by tailoring the
microstructural features. In this work, laminate dual-phase (DP) steels with high martensite …

The damage modes in ferrite-martensite dual-phase (DP) steels include ferrite grain
boundary (F/F) decohesion, ferrite/martensite interface (F/M) decohesion and martensite …

Advanced high-strength steels (AHSSs) are widely adopted in car body structures to achieve
weight reduction for energy efficiency and crash safety. This study investigates the effects of …

A dual-scale finite element model is proposed to investigate the failure of ferrite-bainite (FB)
dual-phase steel in the hole expansion test. The first level simulation solves the elastic …
