Pins are commonly used to join members of mechanical mechanisms. In order to maintain
the integrity of the joint and prevent failure, there must be sufficient material of adequate …

Stress fields close to twin tips and the associated local neighbourhoods of a hexagonal
close-packed (HCP) polycrystal were studied in detail. For this purpose, a coarse grain …

We study the mechanical response and texture evolution of alpha-uranium during simple
compression and rolling at 573 K. In order to determine the underlying mechanisms …

An elasto-plastic self-consistent (EPSC) polycrystal plasticity formulation is adapted to model
deformation of wrought α-uranium (α-U) accommodated by a combination of elasticity …

The incorporation of four different microstructure-sensitive damage mechanisms into a
crystal plasticity finite element model is described in detail. The nucleation and propagation …

With the development of the nuclear industry, uranium materials with better wear resistance
are demanded. This paper aims to demonstrate the effects of ultrasonic surface rolling …

Uranium polycrystal aggregates accumulate large plastic deformation during thermal cycling
in a process known as thermal ratcheting. This process is induced by highly anisotropic …

Starting with electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) data obtained from a warm clock-
rolled α-uranium deformation microstructure, a Potts Monte Carlo model was used to …

We study texture evolution of alpha-uranium (α-U) during plane strain compression and
uniaxial compression to high strains at different temperatures. We combine a multiscale …

Ultrasonic surface rolling process (USRP) is a novel surface modification technique based
on surface severe plastic deformation (SSPD). The present study aims to investigate the …
