Dense intragranular distribution of nanoscale reinforcements is highly desirable since it is
effective in reconciling the strength-ductility trade-off in Al matrix composites (AMCs). Herein …

A von Mises criterion for compatible deformation states that five independent slip systems
must operate for polycrystals to deform uniformly and without failure at the grain boundaries …

In this study, for the first time, the evolution of geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) and
statistically stored dislocation (SSD) densities, as well as their roles in strain hardening …

The high thermal gradients during the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process induce an
inhomogeneous microstructure with anisotropic mechanical properties. This study …

A detailed investigation on the microstructure and micro-texture evolution in Al–Li alloy has
been carried out following deformation at various strain paths. The stretch forming tests have …

Strain gradients have been cast in the form of geometrically-necessary dislocations (GND) to
relate the length-scale dependence of strength and to determine potential sites for failure …

The use of Nye's dislocation tensor for calculating the density of geometrically necessary
dislocations (GND) is widely adopted in the study of plastically deformed materials. The …

Mechanical failure frequently initiates at the grain level, at which intra-granular stresses are
of paramount importance. Under cyclic loading conditions regions within grains that …

In situ tensile testing in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) in conjunction with high-
resolution electron backscatter diffraction (HR-EBSD) under load was used to characterize …

This paper investigates the mechanisms of facet nucleation through combining aero-engine
manufacturer disc component test data with microstructure-sensitive crystal plasticity finite …
