This article is a literature review of recent advances in novel Fe-Mn based alloys, drawing
specific examples on Hadfield and TWIP steels, and high entropy and shape memory alloys …

The motion of dislocations governs the plastic deformation of crystalline materials, which in
turn determines the mechanical properties. The complex thermal history, large temperature …

Overcoming the trade-off between strength and ductility in metallic materials is a grand
challenge. Recently, materials with a gradient nano-grained (GNG) surface layer adhering to …

This paper reviews recent studies, that not only includes both experiments and modeling
components, but celebrates a close coupling between these techniques, in order to provide …

Plasticity of irradiated UO 2 is of major interest to improve the risk assessment of the nuclear
fuel cladding failure in the case of design basis accidents. In this study, we investigate the …

Deformation twins contribute to the unique deformation behaviors and characteristics in the
plastic deformation of TWIP steels since twin boundary (TB) blocks the movement of …

Flow stress and work hardening behaviors, as two important aspects of mechanical
behaviors, have been studied extensively and their interpretation for the case of pure metals …

Physics-based crystal plasticity models rely on certain statistical assumptions about the
collective behavior of dislocation populations on one slip system and their interactions with …

This article presents results relating macroscopic fatigue behavior to microplasticity, twinning
activity, and early fatigue crack formation in wrought magnesium alloy specimens of the AZ …

A new computational methodology for 3-dimensional (3D) Discrete Dislocation Dynamics
(DDD) in barrier-strengthened materials is developed. We couple the discrete 3D DDD …
