While research on lightweight materials has been carried out for decades, it has become
intensified with recent climate action initiatives leading pathways to net zero. Aluminum …

In this paper, deformation behaviors and microstructure evolution of a hot-rolled AZ31B
magnesium alloy under cyclic loadings are investigated. The relationship between plastic …

Efforts to understand fatigue in materials generally rely on defining relationships between
the material response to fatigue loading and the evolving remaining material life portion …

The low-cycle fatigue of strongly-textured Mg alloys is dominated mainly by an alternation of
twinning-detwinning process, which poses a great challenge to conventional constitutive …

This work presents a detailed investigation of twin inception to identify site of twinning,
variant type selected, and the strain to nucleate it within a full 3D reconstructed …

The number of cycles required to form and grow microstructurally small fatigue cracks in
metals exhibits substantial variability, particularly for low applied strain amplitudes. This …

The compressive high strain-rate behavior of polymeric Kelvin lattice structures with rod-
based or plate-based unit cells was investigated through experimental techniques and finite …

In this paper, the analysis of the low cycle fatigue behavior of P91 steel is presented. First,
experimental tests are performed to recognize different aspects of material behavior. Then …

Material orientation effects on cyclic deformation and fatigue of a rolled AZ31B magnesium
(Mg) alloy were experimentally studied. Monotonic tension, monotonic compression, and …

Deformation twins usually play a crucial role in plastic deformation and undoubtedly
influence the microstructural evolution and fatigue behavior of magnesium and its alloys. In …
