A comprehensive overview is given of the literature on slip transmission criteria for grain
boundaries in metals, with a focus on slip system and grain boundary orientation. Much of …

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

Crystal Plasticity (CP) modeling is a powerful and well established computational materials
science tool to investigate mechanical structure–property relations in crystalline materials. It …

Adjacent grains slip transfer is an important mechanism for metal adaptation to
incompatibilities in intergranular deformation. Thus, this paper investigates slip transmission …

The motion of dislocations governs the plastic deformation of crystalline materials, which in
turn determines the mechanical properties. The complex thermal history, large temperature …

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

Exposure of metals to neutron irradiation results in an increase in the yield strength and a
significant loss of ductility. Irradiation hardening is also closely related to the fracture …

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 …

Strain gradients have been cast in the form of geometrically-necessary dislocations (GND) to
relate the length-scale dependence of strength and to determine potential sites for failure …

The stress-strain fields realized in spherical indentation tests are highly heterogeneous, and
present a significant challenge to the recovery of bulk stress-strain responses such as those …
