Alloy modelling has a history of machine-learning-like approaches, preceding the tide of
data-science-inspired work. The dawn of computational databases has made the integration …

The overall, macroscopic constitutive behavior of most materials of technological importance
such as fiber-reinforced composites or polycrystals is very much influenced by the …

The propagation of small cracks contributes to the majority of the fatigue lifetime for structural
components. Despite significant interest, criteria for the growth of small cracks, in terms of …

This paper addresses the mechanistic drivers of short fatigue crack growth using theory,
computational crystal plasticity and experimental test and characterisation. The asymptotic …

In the design and development of novel materials that have excellent mechanical properties,
classification and regression methods have been diversely used across mechanical …

There is a growing demand for the development of precise, accurate, and industrially
applicable predictive models for evaluating the fatigue performance of additively …

The phase-field method has gained much attention as a novel method to simulate fracture
due to its straightforward way allowing to cover crack initiation and propagation without …

Modelling the mechanical behavior of polycrystalline materials based on their evolving
microstructure and the anisotropic properties of their constituent single crystal grains is …

The mechanistic basis of microstructurally short crack paths and growth rates is investigated
in Ni-based superalloy single crystals using Crystal Plasticity (CP) and eXtended Finite …

Fatigue crack nucleation in crystalline materials typically develops due to highly localized
cyclic slip. During a fatigue cycle, reverse slip differs locally from slip in the forward direction …
