Dislocation theory suggests that the plastic flow strength of a solid depends on strain gradients in addition to strains. Hardening is due to the combined presence of geometrically …
Crystal Plasticity (CP) modeling is a powerful and well established computational materials science tool to investigate mechanical structure–property relations in crystalline materials. It …
Cracking from a fine equiaxed zone (FQZ), often just tens of microns across, plagues the welding of 7000 series aluminum alloys. Using a multiscale correlative methodology, from …
This monograph presents a general mathematical theory for biological growth. It provides both a conceptual and a technical foundation for the understanding and analysis of …
Continuum scaling laws often break down when materials approach atomic length scales, reflecting changes in their underlying physics and the opportunities to access …
This work outlines a rigorous variational-based framework for the phase field modeling of ductile fracture in elastic–plastic solids undergoing large strains. The phase field approach …
Heterostructured metals possess superior mechanical properties exceeding the prediction by the rule-of-mixtures. However, it remains a challenge to understand the key …
A combined experimental and strain gradient crystal plasticity framework is presented for studying the development of orientation and misorientation gradients at the grain …
