Discontinuously reinforced titanium matrix composites (DRTMCs), as one of the most
important metal matrix composites (MMCs), are expected to exhibit high strength, elastic …

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 …

Ferritic–martensitic dual phase (DP) steels deform spatially in a highly heterogeneous
manner, ie with strong strain and stress partitioning at the micro-scale. Such heterogeneity in …

Although indentation experiments have long been used to measure the hardness and
Young's modulus, the utility of this technique in analyzing the complete elastic–plastic …

The mechanical response of multiphase alloys is governed by the microscopic strain and
stress partitioning behavior among microstructural constituents. However, due to limitations …

This is an overview of micromechanical deformation mechanisms in hexagonal close-
packed metals. We start with an in-depth discussion of single-crystal behaviour concerning …

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 …

A severe obstacle for the routine use of crystal plasticity models is the effort associated with
determining their constitutive parameters. Obtaining these parameters usually requires time …

A novel method for calculating the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) ratios of different
deformation system types in polycrystalline non-cubic metals has been developed. The …
