The fatigue life of a component can be expressed as the sum of two segments of life:(a) the
number of loading cycles required to initiate a crack and (b) the number of cycles it takes that …

A comprehensive overview is given of the literature on slip transmission criteria for grain
boundaries in metals, with a focus on slip system and grain boundary orientation. Much of …

Slip transfer across grain boundaries (GBs) is an important mechanism for HCP metals to
accommodate intergranular deformation incompatibility. In this work, an in-situ SEM/EBSD …

Additively manufactured (AM) biodegradable zinc (Zn) alloys have recently emerged as
promising porous bone-substituting materials, due to their moderate degradation rates, good …

The microstructural evolution, texture and mechanical properties of nine Mg-4Zn-xCa-yMn
alloys (x= 0.3, 0.6, 1.0; y= 0.2, 0.3, 0.7 wt.%) were investigated systematically. Alloying with …

A 2D bicrystal atomistic model of dislocation transmission through a Σ11< 101>{131}
symmetric-tilt grain boundary reveals details of Hall-Petch breakdown in the single …

To fully understand the plastic deformation of metallic polycrystalline materials, the physical
mechanisms by which a dislocation interacts with a grain boundary must be identified …

The tensile deformation and fracture behaviors of a new metastable β titanium alloy (Ti–5Cr–
4Al–4Zr–3Mo–2W-0.8 Fe) with single β phase are investigated by in-situ tensile test under …

Several theoretical studies have reported that the geometry and structure of grain
boundaries in polycrystalline materials could impose a significant effect on the Hall-Petch …

How matrix dislocations, ie basal, prismatic and pyramidal, interact with {10 1¯ 2} 10 1¯ 1¯
twin boundaries in hexagonal close-packed metals has been discussed extensively in the …
