Viscoplastic behavior of metallic materials is manifested by collective behavior of lattice
defects at multiple length scales. The full gamut of length scales, from atomic to …

The microstructure associated with the hydrogen-induced features “flat” and “quasi-
cleavage” on the fracture surface of a lath martensitic steel has been visualized in a …

It has long been recognized that exposure to irradiation environments could dramatically
degrade the mechanical properties of nuclear structural materials, ie, irradiation-hardening …

In a first report [Jin ZH, Gumbsch P, Ma E, Albe K, Lu K, Hahn H, et al. Scripta Mater 2006;
54: 1163], interactions between screw dislocation and coherent twin boundary (CTB) were …

The objective of this research is to use atomistic simulations to investigate the energy and
structure of symmetric and asymmetric Σ3⟨ 110⟩ tilt grain boundaries. A nonlinear …

A physical based model for the evolution of flow stress of AISI 316L from room temperature
up to 1300° C, strains up to 0.6 and strain rates from 0.0005 up to 10s− 1 is developed. One …

Superior mechanical response of twinnable materials fundamentally arises from an
elevation of Critical Resolved Shear Stresses (CRSS) due to Dislocation-Twin Boundary (D …

Localized deformation has been identified as a potential primary contributor to IASCC.
Seven austenitic alloys were irradiated to 1 and 5dpa at 360° C using 2–3.2 MeV protons …

Localized deformation has emerged as a potential factor in irradiation-assisted stress
corrosion cracking of austenitic stainless steels in LWR environments and the irradiated …

AISI 304 and 316 austenitic stainless steels were invented in the early 1900s and are still
trusted by materials and mechanical engineers in numerous sectors because of their good …
