Nondestructive three-dimensional map** of grain shape, crystallographic orientation, and
grain boundary geometry by diffraction contrast tomography (DCT) provides opportunities for …

A survey of recent contributions on three-dimensional grain-scale mechanical modelling of
polycrystalline materials is given in this work. The analysis of material micro-structures …

Grain boundary engineering (GBE) is considered to be an attractive approach to
microstructure control, which significantly enhances the grain-boundary-related properties of …

Synthesis of hierarchical materials and products is an emerging systems design paradigm,
which includes multiscale (quantum to continuum level) material simulation and product …

A grain-scale three-dimensional model for the analysis of fatigue intergranular degradation
in polycrystalline materials is presented. The material microstructure is explicitly represented …

The motivation of the study is the development of a coupled approach able to account for the
interaction between environment and plasticity in a polycrystalline material. The paper …

stainless steel after stress corrosion cracking (SCC) test in high temperature high pressure …

A modelling strategy is proposed to link the meso-scale mechanical response of a solid
material to the macroscopic material behaviour. The model is based on a regular lattice of …

A pressure based Eulerian multifluid model for application to phase transition with droplet
dynamics in transonic high-speed flows is described. It is implemented using an element …

Grain boundary engineering has been proposed to increase the lifetime performance of
sensitized austenitic stainless steel in aggressive environments. Increased microstructure …
