Advanced experimental and numerical approaches are being developed to capture the
localization of plasticity at the nanometer scale as a function of the multiscale and …

Probabilistic damage tolerance is a critical method to understand and communicate risk and
safety. This paper reviews recent research on the probabilistic damage tolerance design for …

Fatigue cracks in additively manufactured (AMed) Inconel 718 (IN-718) in machined surface
condition often initiate from persistent slip bands (PSBs) unlike other popular AM alloys such …

Fabrication of thin-wall components using the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive
manufacturing (AM) technology was investigated for two “hard-to-weld” high gamma prime …

In this study, line heat inputs are lumped to improve the computational efficiency while
preserving stress directionality in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). The lumped hybrid line …

Fatigue cracks initiating from surface and sub-surface non-metallic inclusions (NMIs) have
recently been demonstrated to be a necessary but not sufficient explanation for atypically …

The ultra-high strength of high γ'nickel (Ni)-based superalloys with low ductility comes with
the price of high susceptibility to cracking and a high residual stress state when processed …

Non-metallic inclusions and twin boundaries are preferred fatigue crack nucleation locations
in polycrystalline Ni-based superalloys. A Heaviside HR-DIC, EBSD and multi-scale …

Despite the growing interest for Binder Jet Additive Manufacturing (BJAM), variability in the
mechanical properties hinders its industry wide adoption. In order to reduce the variability …

Two competing failure modes, namely inclusion-and matrix-driven failures, are studied in a
Ni-base superalloy, RR1000, subjected to fatigue loading using crystal plasticity finite …
