Friction stir welding (FSW) is in existence for well over three decades. Started primarily with
the joining of aluminium alloys, FSW is gradually engaged for other alloys and also …

Traditional sintering processes are carried out to achieve complete material densification. In
an electron beam powder bed fusion (EB-PBF) process, the same sintering mechanisms …

Significant interest and developments in phase-field fracture modeling have emerged. It
approximates fracture continuously using a length-scale parameter, accurately simulating …

A phase-field model for crack initiation and propagation in polycrystalline materials under
thermomechanical loadings is proposed. Therefore, the thermomechanical coupling …

Fatigue is a type of failure that affects structures that are prone to dynamic and fluctuating
stresses, under cyclic loading over a period of time. It is a type of failure that arises due to the …
