This article reviews recent basic research on two categories of metal-based nanolaminates:
those composed of metal/metal constituents and those composed of metal/ceramic …

Improving the durability and sustainability of concrete structures has been driving the
enormous number of research papers on self-healing mechanisms that have been …

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

Obstacles, such as voids and precipitates, are prevalent in crystalline materials. They
strengthen crystals by serving as barriers to dislocation glide. In this work, we develop a …

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 interaction between dislocations and precipitates plays an essential role in
strengthening mechanisms of the Ni-based superalloys (γ-Ni, γ′-Ni 3 Al). It is worth noting …

In this work, a kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) scheme is integrated into a phase field dislocation
dynamics (PFDD) model to account for thermal activation. While the implementation is …

In this work, we present a 3D Phase Field Dislocation Dynamics (PFDD) model for body-
centered cubic (BCC) metals. The model formulation is extended to account for the …

In this work, the deformation mechanisms underlying the room temperature deformation of
the pseudomorphic body centered cubic (BCC) Mg phase in Mg/Nb nanolayered …

In this work, we present a three-dimensional ab-initio informed phase-field-dislocation
dynamics model combined with Langevin dynamics to investigate glide mechanisms of …
