The steels with excellent strength and ductility are expected to be achieved by tailoring the
microstructural features. In this work, laminate dual-phase (DP) steels with high martensite …

Materials design calls for an optimal exploration and exploitation of the process-structure-
property (PSP) relationships to produce materials with targeted properties. Recently, we …

Advanced high-strength steels (AHSSs) are widely adopted in car body structures to achieve
weight reduction for energy efficiency and crash safety. This study investigates the effects of …

A dual-scale finite element model is proposed to investigate the failure of ferrite-bainite (FB)
dual-phase steel in the hole expansion test. The first level simulation solves the elastic …

The focus of goal-oriented materials design is to find the necessary chemistry/processing
conditions to achieve the desired properties. In this setting, a material's microstructure is …

Materials design calls for the (inverse) exploitation of Process-Structure-Property (PSP)
relationships to produce materials with targeted properties. Unfortunately, most materials …

We investigate the possibility of achieving high fracture toughness and high strength by the
design of lightweight (density below water) metallic micro-architectured materials. The micro …

Ductile fracture involving nucleation, growth and coalescence of microscale voids limits the
performance, safety, reliability and manufacturability of a variety of metallic components and …

Multi-phase metallic materials exhibit significant levels of strain partitioning and localization
when plastically deformed. Connecting these microstructural processes to macroscopic …

Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) calls for the integration of
computational tools into the materials and parts development cycle, while the Materials …
