Abstract Dynamic Strain Ageing (DSA) has reached widespread acceptance since its
proposal in the 1940's as the mechanism behind the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect in ferritic …

High Mn twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steel is a new type of structural steel,
characterised by both high strength and superior formability. TWIP steel offers an …

We extend the notion of phase transformations to periodic cellular materials by introducing
materials whose unit cells have multiple stable configurations. Each stable configuration of …

A dislocation density-based crystal plasticity model incorporating both transformation-
induced plasticity (TRIP) and twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) is presented. The approach …

Abstract The Portevin–Le Chatelier (PLC) effect manifests itself as an unstable plastic flow
during tensile tests of some dilute alloys under certain regimes of strain rate and …

This paper focuses on experimental investigations on the kinematic and thermal aspects of
the propagative plastic instabilities, namely Lüders band and Portevin–Le Châtelier (PLC) …

Room temperature dynamic strain aging (DSA) is often observed from the beginning of
plastic deformation in high Mn Fe–18% Mn–0.6% C and Fe–22% Mn–0.6% C twinning …

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are a novel class of alloys that have many desirable properties.
The serrated flow that occurs in high-entropy alloys during mechanical deformation is an …

Modern car design puts an increasing emphasis on the notion that a material used in
building the body-in-white (BIW) should be selected on the basis of how well it helps …

Complex (nonlinear) unloading behavior following plastic straining has been reported as a
significant challenge to accurate springback prediction. More fundamentally, the nature of …
