High-energy diffraction microscopy (HEDM) is an implementation of three-dimensional X-ray
diffraction microscopy. HEDM yields maps of internal crystal orientation fields, strain states …

Abstract The Ti–Al system, specifically with Al wt pct ranging from approximately 4 to 14 pct,
has served as a model system for exploring the deformation behavior of the hexagonal close …

Crack initiation at inclusions is a dominant, unavoidable and life-limiting failure mechanism
of important structural materials. Fatigue progresses in a complex manner to find the …

Slip activity from various slip modes largely determines the yield strength and ductility of Mg
alloys. Solid solution elements in Mg can change the slip activity dramatically. In this paper …

The current understanding of room temperature microplasticity in α/β titanium alloys is
reviewed with a special emphasis on dual-phase engineering alloys. As the interplay …

Far-field high-energy X-ray diffraction microscopy is used to asses the evolution of slip
system strengths in hexagonal close-packed (HCP) Ti-7Al during tensile deformation in-situ …

The fatigue crack nucleation mechanism of Ti-2Al-2.5 Zr alloy was investigated using the
coupling method of quasi in-situ tests with crystal plasticity (CP) simulation. The constitutive …

The failure of polycrystalline materials used in infrastructure and transportation can be
catastrophic. Multiscale modeling, which requires multiscale measurements of internal …

The interconnected phenomena of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and adiabatic shear
bands (ASBs) are critical features of dynamic deformation and fracture in metals. Despite …

Image-based micromechanical models, necessary for the development of structure-property-
response relations, are far from mature for complex microstructures with multi-modal …
