Full-field measurement techniques are now mature. As such, they have profoundly impacted
the experimental mechanics community in recent years. The way that shape memory alloys …

A theoretical framework is proposed for simultaneous reconstruction of the three-
dimensional grain shapes, intragranular strain and orientation fields inside polycrystals from …

The failure of polycrystalline materials used in infrastructure and transportation can be
catastrophic. Multiscale modeling, which requires multiscale measurements of internal …

Two methods for reconstructing intragranular strain fields are developed for scanning three-
dimensional X-ray diffraction (3DXRD). The methods are compared with a third approach …

Polycrystals illuminated by high-energy X-rays or neutrons produce diffraction patterns in
which the measured diffraction peaks encode the individual single crystal strain states …

Lignin as an advanced catalyst support has attracted much attention owing to its sufficient
functional groups and natural cross-linked network structure, as well as good …

Three-dimensional X-ray diffraction microscopy, 3DXRD, has become an established tool for
orientation and strain mapping of bulk polycrystals. However, it is limited to a finite spatial …

Ni coarsening in the Ni/yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) fuel electrode of solid oxide cells
(SOCs) is a major cause of long-term performance degradation. Phase-field modeling is a …

The response of a polycrystalline material to a mechanical load depends not only on the
response of each individual grain, but also on the interaction with its neighbors. These …

The microstructure of polycrystals is known to govern the performance of structural materials.
This drives the need for mechanical characterization methods capable of probing large …
