This work reviews and critically discusses the current understanding of two scaling laws,
which are ubiquitous in the modeling of monotonic plastic deformation in face-centered …

Current state and historical progress in experimental and theoretical studies of surface relief
appertaining to persistent slip bands (PSBs) and leading to fatigue crack initiation in …

Fatigue failure in the high-cycle and ultrahigh-cycle regimes is often dominated by the crack
initiation processes, which are strongly influenced by the salient features and defects in the …

In this article, the physical origin of fatigue crack initiation in ductile metals is discussed from
a historical perspective. The main focus is to assess those cyclic slip irreversibilities in a …

Recent advances in the processing technology are permitting the manufacture of novel
metallic materials with superior fatigue properties via microstructure tailoring. In the light of …

Intergranular fatigue crack nucleation has been reported to occur commonly at high angle
grain boundaries (HAGBs) but seldom at low angle GBs (LAGBs) during persistent slip band …

In the first part, some fundamental issues that have been under discussion for a long time
will be revisited, namely the effect of the cyclic slip mode on the fatigue-induced dislocation …

The application of crystal plasticity in finite element codes provides a virtual copy of a real
grain structure, including stress–strain state and slip system activity. This paper presents …

Fatigue behavior of three high-Mn TWIP steels with the grain sizes between 4.5 and 55μm
were investigated in reversed plane bending in the high-cycle regime. Crack initiation and …

Strain localization under low amplitude cyclic loading is a manifestation of plastic
irreversible deformation associated with early crack growth. However, traditional constitutive …
