Exposure of metals to neutron irradiation results in an increase in the yield strength and a
significant loss of ductility. Irradiation hardening is also closely related to the fracture …

Nickel (Ni)-based superalloys are used for safety-critical components in the aerospace
industry because of their high strength at elevated temperatures. These materials are …

In this work, a strain-gradient crystal plasticity theory with irradiation effect is proposed for the
surface nano-indentation of ion-irradiated FCC metals. In order to characterize the …

A new model of gradient crystal plasticity is developed in which the incompatibility of plastic
deformation field is simultaneously included in two different ways. The first one is well known …

The mechanical behavior of coating systems is studied by means of a novel numerical
modeling approach. The damage and fracture evolution within the coating system are …

Identification of elastic and plastic properties of materials from indentation tests received
considerable attention in the open literature. However, unambiguous and automatic …

The effect of deformation on the evolution of crystallographic texture in a Ti-15V-3Cr-3Sn-3Al
(Ti-15333) alloy after unidirectional cold rolling was studied experimentally and numerically …

Due to size effects, the conventional material constitutive models are no longer valid in the
investigation of micro-forming processes. In this work, a nonlocal physically based crystal …

Grain-scale dwell fatigue behavior in Ti-Fe-O alloy is elucidated, with attention focused on
the stress redistribution phenomenon that occurs within the soft-hard grain combination …

High strength aluminium alloys that are produced through forming and joining processes are
widely used in aerospace components. The ductile failure in these metals occurs due to the …
