Additive manufacturing (AM) processes have proven to be a perfect match for topology
optimization (TO), as they are able to realize sophisticated geometries in a unique layer-by …

In this paper, the relationship between anisotropic mechanical properties and the
corresponding microstructure evolution of wrought magnesium alloys is critically reviewed …

Crystal Plasticity (CP) modeling is a powerful and well established computational materials
science tool to investigate mechanical structure–property relations in crystalline materials. It …

The stress–strain response of sintered silver nanoparticles (AgNP) materials is precisely
characterized in order to adapt for numerical analysis and rational design of electronic …

This article reviews continuum-based variational formulations for describing the elastic–
plastic deformation of anisotropic heterogeneous crystalline matter. These approaches …

The subject of computational plasticity encapsulates the numerical methods used for the
finite element simulation of the behaviour of a wide range of engineering materials …

A mesoscopic constitutive model coupled with crystal plasticity (CP) and damage is
established in this paper to investigate the plastic deformation and damage-induced …

A new rate dependent constitutive model is developed for polycrystals subjected to
arbitrarily large strains. The model is used to predict deformation textures and large-strain …

A Taylor-type polycrystalline model, together with a new fully-implicit time-integration
scheme has been developed and implemented in a finite element program to simulate the …

The book is divided into two parts dealing with the fundamental issues of processing
(Chapter 2) and the thermomechanical response (Chapter 3) of a FGM. Chapter 1 provides …
