This paper reviews the recent developments in the field of multiscale modelling of
heterogeneous materials with emphasis on homogenization methods and strain localization …

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 …

Multiscale modeling of heterogeneous material undergoing strain softening poses
computational challenges for localization of the microstructure, material instability in the …

This paper reports the research results on the continuum theory of damage which goes back
to the works of Kachanov, Gurson, and Rabotnov. In these models, internal variables that …

Unique depth of scientific knowledge has allowed physical metallurgy to lead the
development of a successful computational materials design methodology grounded in a …

It was a cold January morning in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1991. I was visiting the ALCOA
Technical Center to present a seminar in their Materials and Manufacturing Division. After …

Biological and manmade structures often share the same specifications and design
constraints: structural support, lightweight or protection against specific threats. In this …

A predictive multiscale computational framework has been proposed to study the
viscoelastic properties of polymeric materials. Using the Inverse Boltzmann Method, both the …

In this study, Inconel 718 (IN718) specimens, manufactured by laser directed energy
deposition (LDED), are subjected to three different heat-treatments to have different …

Our unique depth of scientific knowledge has allowed ferrous metallurgy to lead the
development of a successful computational materials design methodology grounded in a …
