Pore size data in AM50 Mg alloy die castings reported by Lee et al.[Mater. Sci. Eng. A, v.
A427, pp. 99–111, 2006] were reanalyzed by using the lognormal distribution. Best fits were …

The use of defect size distributions in models for fatigue life is reviewed. A brief summary of
extreme value statistics is provided. The analysis of data reported in the literature on the size …

The scatter of casting defects induced by the casting process causes the scatter of
mechanical properties of cast alloys. The cylinder head of a high-power density engine is …

Abstract Development of a discrete/continuum numerical model of different failure modes
operating in dual phase steels during deformation is the main goal of the research …

Measures based on mean Nth-nearest neighbor distances efficiently characterize particle
clustering and deviation from the equilibrium random state (ERS) in microstructures. Mean …

Spatial heterogeneity in secondary phase particle distributions can strongly influence failure
processes. In develo** models that capture the stochastic nature of failure, the fact that …

The macroscale properties of materials evolve under the influence of phenomena arising
across a broad spectrum of length scales, with spatial heterogeneity strongly influencing …
