Gradient grained metals whose microstructure is characterized by a spatially graded grain
size distribution show a better strength-ductility combination than their homogeneous …

Gradient nano-grained (GNG) metals have shown a better strength-ductility combination
compared to their homogeneous counterparts. In this paper, the mechanical properties and …

Wear tests involving thousands of operating cycles can be impractical and costly. Therefore,
the use of numerical methods to predict surface evolution due to wear can be a good …

This paper uses a multi-scale crystal plasticity modelling approach to investigate the role of
microstructure in the damage of Sn-3Ag-0.5 Cu (wt%, SAC305) solder joints subject to …

TSV-Cu is widely used for chip interconnects, where high testing costs and complex crystal
plasticity finite element (CPFE) limit the research of its deep microplastic evolution process …

A non-local method for the establishment of geometrically necessary dislocation (GND)
based on a non-local domain integral has been developed and incorporated into crystal …

In this study, the effects of grain size and dislocation source properties on the yield stress of
ultrafine-grained (UFG) polycrystals were examined using three-dimensional multiscale …

Circular holes on single crystal (SX) superalloys are widely utilized as film cooling structures
on SX turbine blades, while their failure is a persistent issue. This study presents in-situ tests …

Grain rotation is commonly observed during the evolution of microstructures in
polycrystalline materials of different kinds, including metals, ceramics, and colloidal crystals …

Indentation hardness is a well-known material parameter for determining the resistance of a
material to deformation. It is however known that indentation hardness alone cannot fully …
