Gradient grained metals whose microstructure is characterized by a spatially graded grain
size distribution show a better strength-ductility combination than their homogeneous …

A combined experimental and strain gradient crystal plasticity framework is presented for
studying the development of orientation and misorientation gradients at the grain …

We present a gradient-based theoretical framework for predicting hydrogen assisted fracture
in elastic-plastic solids. The novelty of the model lies in the combination of:(i) stress-assisted …

Grain boundary mediated plasticity (eg, grain rotation and grain boundary sliding) plays a
critical role in determining the deformation behavior of polycrystals, which is especially …

The interfaces introduced in metals by heterostructural design play crucial roles in
mechanical behaviors. Here the effect of gradient interfaces on mechanical behavior was …

To ensure a more representative simulation of meso‑scale and macro-scale deformation, it
is important the underlying constitutive relations are advanced to more effectively …

High-capacity electrodes in Li-ion batteries inevitably undergo a large volume deformation
originating from high diffusion-induced stresses during charging and discharging processes …

We present a new mechanistic, phase field-based formulation for predicting hydrogen
embrittlement. The multi-physics model developed incorporates, for the first time, a Taylor …

Data science and material informatics are gaining traction in alloy design. This is due to
increasing infrastructure, computational capabilities and established open-source …

Titanium alloy is prominent in manufacturing of high-performance miniature devices, while
size-affected plastic heterogeneity and asymmetry in micro-scaled deformation are not well …
