This review summarizes recent advances in the area of tribology based on the outcome of a
Lorentz Center workshop surveying various physical, chemical and mechanical phenomena …

The fatigue life of a component can be expressed as the sum of two segments of life:(a) the
number of loading cycles required to initiate a crack and (b) the number of cycles it takes that …

The advent of additive manufacturing (AM) offers the possibility of creating high-performance
metallic materials with unique microstructure. Ultrafine dislocation cell structure in AM metals …

Dislocation glide is a general deformation mode, governing the strength of metals. Via
discrete dislocation dynamics and molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the strain …

The book is divided into two parts dealing with the fundamental issues of processing
(Chapter 2) and the thermomechanical response (Chapter 3) of a FGM. Chapter 1 provides …

The extended and generalized finite element methods are reviewed with an emphasis on
their applications to problems in material science:(1) fracture,(2) dislocations,(3) grain …

Size-affected dislocation-mediated plasticity is important in a wide range of materials and
technologies. Here we develop a generalized size-dependent dislocation-based model that …

This review examines the recent literature that has focused on uniaxial compression
experiments of single crystals at the micrometer scale. Collectively, the studies discovered …

Fatigue is a difficult multi-scale modelling problem nucleating from localised plasticity at the
scale of dislocations and microstructure with significant engineering safety implications …

Numerical algorithms for discrete dislocation dynamics simulations are investigated for the
purpose of enabling strain hardening simulations of single crystals on massively parallel …
