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

This paper presents an assessment of recent literature on the mechanistic understanding of
fatigue crack nucleation and the associated modelling techniques employed. In particular …

Microstructurally-sensitive fatigue crack nucleation and subsequently short crack growth
were observed at an edge-notch in a textured Zircaloy-4 sample with the c-axis aligned …

A series of microstructurally-differing, large-grained, notched, polycrystal BCC ferritic steel
bend test samples have been analysed to extract the experimentally observed sites of …

Dislocation transmission across grain boundary (GB) and activation of dislocation source in
adjacent grains are considered common features of dislocation-GB interactions in regulating …

A finite-strain anisotropic phase field method is developed to model the localisation of
damage on a defined family of crystallographic planes, characteristic of cleavage fracture in …

An integrated experimental, characterisation and computational crystal plasticity study of
cyclic plastic beam loading has been carried out for nickel single crystal (CMSX4) and …

White etching cracks (WECs) and the associated white etching areas (WEAs) are
responsible for failure of widely spread engineering applications such as bearings and …

A phase field method for brittle fracture is formulated for a finite strain elasto-viscoplastic
material using a novel obstacle phase field energy model. The obstacle energy model …

As a common feature observed in irradiated metallic materials, the formation of dislocation
channels has been extensively studied and is considered to play a key role in irradiation …
