Particles cracking and debonding are important damage modes that affect the
manufacturing processes of Al/SiCp composites. The study of chip formation is the most …

SiC p/Al composites are more and more used in aerospace, military industry and other
industries. However, the surface integrity of materials is poor, and the cutting force is large …

The diffusion of hydrogen in Zircalloy fuel cladding components and its associated delayed
hydride cracking (DHC) mechanism remain a bottleneck in nuclear fission. Through Crystal …

Equations for dislocation evolution bridge the gap between dislocation properties and
continuum descriptions of plastic behavior of crystalline materials. Computer simulations can …

The mobility of atoms in dislocation core regions is many orders of magnitude faster than in
the surrounding lattice. This rapid atomic transport along dislocation cores plays a significant …

SiCp/Al composites have excellent material properties and are increasingly being used in
the aerospace, military, and electronic packaging industries. However, the inhomogeneity …

Plastic deformation in crystalline materials occurs through dislocation slip and strengthening
is achieved with obstacles that hinder the motion of dislocations. At relatively low …

Nanocrystalline and nanotwinned materials achieve exceptional strengths through small
grain sizes. Due to large areas of crystal interfaces, they are highly susceptible to grain …

Discrete dislocation plasticity (DDP) analysis of the high temperature creep deformation of a
single crystal Ni superalloy comprising Ni 3 Al precipitates (γ′) in a Ni matrix (γ) is …

The interaction of Zircaloy fuel cladding components with coolant water in a nuclear reactor
leads to embrittlement and potentially delayed hydride cracking (DHC). We explore rate …
