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 …

Emphasising essential methods and universal principles, this textbook provides everything
students need to understand the basics of simulating materials behaviour. All the key topics …

Despite 5,000 years of metals in technology and 80 years since dislocations were
postulated as the carriers of deformation, we still lack fundamental theories of dislocation …

Dislocation structures forming during cyclic loading of fcc metals are fatigue damage
precursors. Their specific structures are caused by the motion and interactions of …

Microstructure evolution occurs throughout the high temperature creep process inside nickel-
based single crystal superalloys. In this study, creep tests of a nickel-based single crystal …

A methodology is presented for the use of the oxide scale that develops in polycrystalline Ni-
base superalloys at service temperature, as a speckle pattern for μm-scale resolution strain …

Dislocation Based Crystal Plasticity: Theory and Computation at Micron and Submicron
Scale provides a comprehensive introduction to the continuum and discreteness dislocation …

Precursors of failure are dislocation mechanisms at the nanoscale and dislocation
organization at the mesoscale responsible for long-range internal stresses and lattice …

A new dislocation-based model for low cycle fatigue in fcc metals at a length scale smaller
than the feature size of the dislocation structures is presented. It uses the crystal plasticity …

In the expanding context of device miniaturization, forming processes of ultra thin sheet
metals are gaining importance. Numerical simulation of these processes requires accurate …
