This work firstly evaluated the microscale mechanical properties of sintered Ag, consisting of various Ag particles of a flake shape and spherical shape from nano to micro size …
The mechanisms of dislocation/precipitate interactions were analyzed in an Al–Cu alloy containing a homogeneous dispersion of θ′ precipitates by means of discrete dislocation …
The microstructural configurations that favor early strain localization and fatigue crack initiation at intermediate and high temperature (400° C–650° C) have been investigated …
The multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) exhibit the unprecedented combinations of the excellent mechanical properties, especially high strength and good ductility. However, the …
The deformation of micro-twinned polycrystalline magnesium (Mg) was studied using three- dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD). A systematic interaction model between …
Abstract 3D-DD simulations are performed with cubic grains ranging from 1 to 10 µm to investigate the physical mechanisms at the origin of the Hall–Petch law. In particular, the …
Although presenting attractive features in dealing with small-scale size effects, strain gradient plasticity (SGP) theories can lead to uncommon phenomena for some boundary …
