This article focuses on the mechanisms and consequences of plastic strain localizations
exhibited in tensile stress–strain behaviors, fracture and fatigue. A broad overview is first …

In this interpretive review, fatigue in metallic systems is considered primarily from the
perspective of interactions between the microstructure, the deformation mode and the …

Nickel-base superalloys are primarily used as components in jet engines and land-based
turbines. While compositionally complex, they are microstructurally simple, consisting of …

The goals of this paper are:(i) to review the mechanisms of cyclic deformation, damage
accumulation and crack propagation in three types of materials widely used in power …

This paper describes an enhanced physics‐inspired model to predict the life of the second‐
generation single crystal superalloy PWA 1484 experiencing out‐of‐phase (OP) …

In spite of its significance in industrial applications, the prediction of the influence of
microstructure on the early stages of crack formation and growth in engineering alloys …

The predictive capability of the Sehitoglu–Boismier unified constitutive and life model for Mar-
M247 Ni-base superalloy is extended from a maximum temperature of 871° C to 1038° C …

Thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) is a common damage process incurred by superalloys
used for turbine components. Life modeling of TMF in superalloys has traditionally looked to …

Single-crystal Ni-base superalloys are a favoured material for blades in the hot section of
aero turbines. These materials exhibit excellent dimensional stability, deformation response …

High resolution quantitative EDX-analysis is used to gain new insights into the diffusive
processes resulting in γ'-depletion after high temperature exposure of superalloys. The …
