Pushing the internal or external dimensions of metallic alloys down to the nanometer scale
gives rise to strong materials, though most often at the expense of a low ductility and a low …

Multi-scale models enriched with the second gradient of the displacement field and based
on the concept of representative volume element (RVE) are examined and discussed in …

Abstract Model dual-phase microstructures were developed to decouple the effect of
martensite volume fraction and martensite hardness on the plastic behavior of dual-phase …

Martensite volume fraction, composition and grain size are the known primary factors
controlling the mechanical behavior of ferrite-martensite dual-phase steels. Recently …

Plasticity in heterogeneous metallic materials of small volumes is governed by the
interactions of the dislocations in the bulk and at the interfaces. The temperature distribution …

Due to material anisotropy, the behavior of a granular material is generally directional-
dependent. The directions of stress and strain increment have been observed non …

We investigate the influence of gradient-enhanced dislocation hardening on the mechanics
of notch-induced failure. The role of geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) in …

В сталях наблюдаются все известные для твердого состояния фазовые превращения:
полиморфное с широким спектром морфологических и кинетических особенностей; …

A homogenization‐based multi‐scale model at finite strains is proposed linking the micro‐
scale to the macro‐scale level through a second‐gradient constitutive theory. It is suitable for …

The plasticity and fracture mechanisms of metallic polycrystals are often dominated by the
presence of interfaces which constitute either barriers to dislocation motion, easy paths for …
