Cold dwell fatigue of titanium alloys used in aero-engine components has threatened flight
safety for over five decades. This phenomenon was encountered in Al-containing titanium …

As one of the representative characteristics of plastic deformation, microstructural plastic
strain inhomogeneity has triggered a broad interest in uncovering the corresponding …

Dislocation transmission through α/β phase boundaries in titanium alloys is studied using
integrated crystal plasticity (CP) and discrete dislocation plasticity (DDP) modelling …

The influence of microtexture on the fatigue and dwell-fatigue response of Ti-6Al-4V was
investigated considering two regions of a part showing different degrees of microtexture. A …

Dwell fatigue failure of titanium alloy components has been one of the major threats to
aircraft safety for the last 50 years. Numerous studies have focused on the identification of …

Deformation twinning has a significant impact on the evolution of microstructure and
mechanical response in hexagonal close packed (hcp) metals. Understanding the physical …

Slip intermittency and stress oscillations in titanium alloy Ti–7Al–O that were observed using
in-situ far-field high energy X-ray diffraction microscopy (ff-HEDM) are investigated using a …

The dislocation structures appearing in highly mis-oriented soft/hard grain pairs in near-
alpha titanium alloy Ti6242Si were examined with and without the application of load holds …

Slip activity in dwell fatigued Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo, and its relation to the microstructure, was
investigated using digital image correlation and electron backscatter diffraction at room …

This paper develops a two-way (bottom-up or hierarchical and top-down) multi-scale
modeling framework for predicting fatigue crack nucleation in structural components of …
