The small fatigue crack (SFC) growth regime in polycrystalline alloys is complex due to the
heterogeneity in the local micromechanical fields, which result in high variability in crack …

The grain structure of an Al–0.3 wt% Mn alloy deformed to 1% strain was reconstructed
using diffraction contrast tomography (DCT) and high-energy diffraction microscopy (HEDM) …

Open-cell metal foams are ultra-low-density cellular metals with complex hierarchical
structures that span bulk, cell, ligament, and sub-ligament scales and give rise to desirable …

A two-phase near-β titanium alloy (Ti–10V–2Fe–3Al, or Ti-1023) in its as-forged state is
employed to illustrate the feasibility of a Bayesian framework to identify single-crystal elastic …

In the last two decades, far-field high-energy diffraction microscopy (FF-HEDM) and similar
non-destructive techniques have been actively developed at synchrotron light sources …

The X-ray Laue microdiffraction (µLaue) technique has been establishing itself as a reliable
means for microstrain analysis for the past few decades. One problem with this technique is …

Three-dimensional X-ray diffraction was applied to characterize the strain/stress evolution in
individual grains of an Al–0.3 wt% Mn polycrystal deformed in situ at a synchrotron source …

This work aims to improve our understanding of the local deformation of polycrystalline
materials. To this end, in situ synchrotron experiments and finite element simulations are …

Failure in ductile metals is heavily influenced by microstructural features (eg, grain structure,
porous defects, and second phase precipitates). Three-dimensional characterization …

Defects are unavoidable, life-limiting and dominant sites of damage and subsequent failure
in a material. Ni-based superalloys are commonly used in high temperature applications …
