This article reviews continuum-based variational formulations for describing the elastic–
plastic deformation of anisotropic heterogeneous crystalline matter. These approaches …

Viscoplastic behavior of metallic materials is manifested by collective behavior of lattice
defects at multiple length scales. The full gamut of length scales, from atomic to …

This is the first of three overviews on failure of metals. Here, brittle and ductile failure under
monotonic loadings are addressed within the context of the local approach to fracture. In this …

Designing materials for targeted performance requirements as required in Integrated
Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) demands a combined strategy of bottom–up …

Research trends in metal plasticity over the past 25years are briefly reviewed. The myriad of
length scales at which phenomena involving microstructure rearrangement during plastic …

The mechanical response of engineering materials evaluated through continuum fracture
mechanics typically assumes that a crack or void initially exists, but it does not provide …

Practical multiscale materials design is contingent on the availability of robust and reliable
reduced-order linkages (ie, surrogate models) between the material internal structure and its …

Refractory multiple principal elemental alloys (RMPEAs) show the excellent combinations of
mechanical properties and oxidation resistance, are considered the most promising as the …

This study for the first time develops a coherent and efficient bottom-up stochastic multiscale
modeling approach, which aims at revealing the impact of microvoids on the mechanical …

Nanotechnology is a progressive research and development topic with large amounts of
venture capital and government funding being invested worldwide. Nano mechanics, in …
