The study of heterostructured materials (HSMs) answered one of the most pressing
questions in the metallurgical field:“is it possible to greatly increase both the strength and the …

Grain boundaries influence mechanical, functional, and kinetic properties of metallic alloys.
They can be manipulated via solute decoration enabling changes in energy, mobility …

A mesoscopic constitutive model coupled with crystal plasticity (CP) and damage is
established in this paper to investigate the plastic deformation and damage-induced …

Dual-phase (DP) steels are characterized by their good formability and interesting material
properties, which primarily originate from their unique composition, combining the ductile …

Intermetallic titanium aluminide alloys based on the ordered face-centred tetragonal γ (TiAl)-
phase represent a good example how fundamental and applied research along with …

This work investigates the strain-dependent activation of second-order< c+ a> pyramidal slip
and other non-basal systems with increasing tensile strain in a Mg-Zn alloy. With that …

Adjacent grains slip transfer is an important mechanism for metal adaptation to
incompatibilities in intergranular deformation. Thus, this paper investigates slip transmission …

This article reviews continuum-based variational formulations for describing the elastic–
plastic deformation of anisotropic heterogeneous crystalline matter. These approaches …

Twin, dislocation, and grain boundary interaction in hexagonal materials, such as Mg, Ti,
and Zr, has critical influence on the materials' mechanical properties. The development of a …

The multi-scale complexity of lath martensitic microstructures requires scale-bridging
analyses to better understand the deformation mechanisms activated therein. In this study …
