In this paper, we discuss the formulation, recent developments and findings obtained from a
mesoscale mechanics technique called phase field dislocation dynamics (PFDD). We begin …

The difference in the mechanical behaviors of dilute solid solutions, complex solid solutions
and their corresponding strengthening mechanisms, is an evolving field of study. An …

A phase field theory for modeling deformation and fracture of single crystals, polycrystals,
and grain boundaries is developed. Anisotropies of elastic coefficients and fracture surface …

This paper reviews recent studies, that not only includes both experiments and modeling
components, but celebrates a close coupling between these techniques, in order to provide …

Abstract Effects of Cu, Mn, Al, Ti, Mo on generalized stacking fault energies, Rice-criterion
ductilities, and twinabilities of CoCrFeNi-based face-centered cubic high entropy alloys were …

Review of selected fundamental topics on the interaction between phase transformations,
fracture, and other structural changes in inelastic materials is presented. It mostly focuses on …

Grain boundaries (GBs) in polycrystalline materials act as impediments to dislocation motion
and result in strengthening. Understanding slip transmission through GBs, specifically twin …

Voids of nanoscale dimensions in irradiated metals can act as obstacles to dislocation
motion and cause strengthening. In this work, nanovoid strengthening and the influences of …

Pressure and shear strain-induced phase transformations (PTs) in a nanograined bicrystal
at the evolving dislocations pile-up have been studied utilizing a phase field approach …

In alloys and high entropy alloys the stacking fault energy varies with the local composition.
The effects of these energy fluctuations on the strengthening are studied using dislocation …
