Since their inception, computational homogenization methods based on the fast Fourier
transform (FFT) have grown in popularity, establishing themselves as a powerful tool …

The inverse homogenization method can tailor some mechanical and physical effective
properties by laying out materials in a periodic representative volume element. However …

The growth of an isolated spherical void at and near a grain boundary or a triple junction is
studied by means of full-field crystal plasticity simulations with explicit representation of the …

In this work, we study the effect of crystallographic orientation and applied triaxiality on the
growth of intragranular voids. Two 3D full-field micromechanics methods are used, the …

This paper presents the state-of-the-art knowledge about the micro-mechanical modelling of
the fuel behavior under irradiation with normal and off normal operating conditions …

This study is devoted to the derivation of an approximate yield function for voided single
crystals deforming by crystallographic slip. By making use of a regularized form of the …

Ductile fracture through growth and coalescence of intergranular cavities is a failure mode
observed experimentally in many metallic alloys used in industrial applications. Simulation …

The objective of this study is to assess the variational definition of the effective fracture
energy of a heterogeneous brittle material recently proposed by Schneider (2020) based on …

A multi-scale model is developed for modeling of plastic deformation and induced damage
in rock-like materials containing pores and mineral inclusions. An analytical macroscopic …

High-throughput (several thousand) calculations have been carried out to investigate the
yield behavior of porous materials with randomly distributed pores, porosity levels over four …
