A methodology is presented for the generation and meshing of large-scale three-
dimensional random polycrystals. Voronoi tessellations are used and are shown to include …

A grain-based distinct element model featuring three-dimensional (3D) Voronoi tessellations
(random poly-crystals) is proposed for simulation of crack damage development in brittle …

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 …

Based on a two-scale tessellation technique in Neper, a 3DEC-GBM modeling approach
considering inter-and intra-grain contact failures is proposed to study brittle rock failure …

High strength titanium alloys are generally used in widespread applications ranging over,
but not limited to biomedical, aerospace, automotive, marine, oil and gas, and energy …

This paper reports an in-situ study of the plastic deformation behavior of surface grains in a
polycrystalline aluminum alloy, in particular the active slip systems and lattice rotation, by …

Understanding the mechanical properties and fracture behaviors of coal is essential for the
safety of underground mining engineering. This research aims to evaluate the impact of …

Grain and contact are the two key components in 3DEC-GBMs (grain-based models)
because they control the micro-mechanical behavior and consequently the macro …

In this article, the plastic strain mechanisms of AISI 316L with bimodal grain size distributions
are investigated using experimental characterizations and numerical simulations. Using …

In this work, a grain boundary formulation for intergranular and transgranular micro-cracking
in three-dimensional polycrystalline aggregates is presented. The formulation is based on …
