This is a viewpoint paper on recent progress in the understanding of the microstructure–
property relations of advanced high-strength steels (AHSS). These alloys constitute a class …

Crystal Plasticity (CP) modeling is a powerful and well established computational materials
science tool to investigate mechanical structure–property relations in crystalline materials. It …

This research provides a comprehensive analysis of the texture and temperature dependent
deformation behavior of the aluminum alloy AA6082. The study is performed using a …

To enhance the fundamental understanding for micromechanical lath martensite
deformation, the microstructure as well as macro-and microscopic tensile properties of as …

Computational micromechanics and homogenization require the solution of the mechanical
equilibrium of a periodic cell that comprises a (generally complex) microstructure …

In-depth understanding of plastic heterogeneities at grain-level and local deformation
behaviors is pivotal in exploring the mechanical response and fracture mechanism of thin …

We present a fully embedded implementation of a full-field crystal plasticity model in an
implicit finite element (FE) framework, a combination which realizes a multiscale approach …

Integrated experimental–numerical testing on bulk metal alloys with fine, complex
microstructures is known to be highly challenging, since measurements are restricted to the …

Assessing the size of representative volume elements (RVEs) for fatigue-related
applications is challenging. A RVE relevant to random microstructure requires a volume of …

Abstract Martensite/ferrite (M/F) interface damage is relevant to failure of many dual-phase
(DP) steels, but the underlying microscale mechanisms remain unclear. Through an …
