Damage evolution characterization and performance evaluation under realistic conditions
are essential to ensure reliable operation of critical safety components. However, previous …

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 Layered Ti-Al metal composite (LMC) was designed and fabricated by hot-rolling
and annealing of pure Ti and Al sheets. The as-prepared composite exhibits high tensile …

The interfacial stress-affected zone (ISAZ), characterized by a stress gradient maximizing at
the interface, is considered a key factor in determining the mechanical properties of …

As the computational capability of modern computers increases, the Crystal Plasticity Finite
Element Method (CPFEM) becomes more and more popular in materials science to model …

A novel model for revealing low cycle fatigue (LCF) fracture mechanism was established
based on molecular dynamics, extended finite element method, and representative volume …

Laminated/bimetal composites can offer the advantage of combining constituent metals, but
their heterogeneous microstructures exhibit different mechanical properties during …

Plastic deformation behavior is most conveniently assessed by characterization on a
surface, but whether such observations are representative of bulk properties is uncertain …

The complex micromechanical response among grains remains a persistent challenge to
understand the deformation mechanism of titanium alloys during cold rolling. Therefore, in …

By investigating the relation between microstructure evolution and tensile responses of a
BTi6431S alloy at room temperature and 700° C, this study finds an annealing-induced …
