This is a viewpoint paper on recent progress in the understanding of the microstructure–
property relations of advanced high-strength steels (AHSS). These alloys constitute a class …

A detailed analysis of the microstructure and failure mechanism of a dual-phase steel
material as a function of strain was conducted. Accordingly, three tensile tests were …

Both experimental and numerical methods were employed to investigate the mechanism of
failure in dual phase steels. The tensile test was interrupted in different steps to capture the …

In this study, experimental and numerical analyses of Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) and
Forming Limit Stress Diagram (FLSD) for two Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) sheets …

Correctly determining the onset of fracture is crucial when performing mechanical
experiments. Commonly carried out by visual inspection, here an image-based machine …

Ductile fracture of metallic materials in micro/meso scale plastic deformation is influenced by
geometry and grain sizes and the so-called size effect thus exists. To reveal how the size …

The present work is devoted to experimental and numerical investigation of in situ tensile
tests to recognize the mechanisms of ductile fracture under different stress states. The GTN …

The influence of the hardness of martensite and ferrite phases in dual phase steel on void
formation has been investigated by in situ tensile loading in a scanning electron microscope …

Metal–plastic sandwich sheet has received increasing attention in aeronautical, automotive,
marine and civil engineering industries due to its lower density, higher specific flexural …

A dual-scale finite element model is proposed to investigate the failure of ferrite-bainite (FB)
dual-phase steel in the hole expansion test. The first level simulation solves the elastic …
