Although several strategies (including grain refinement, texture adjustment, precipitation
hardening, etc.) have been verified to effectively improve the mechanical properties of …

This paper reviews the current state of the art in the simulation of the mechanical behavior of
polycrystalline materials by means of computational homogenization. The key ingredients of …

Poor room temperature (RT) ductility is an inherent disadvantage of magnesium (Mg) alloys,
which limits their wide application. Grain refinement is an accepted method to improve …

Crystal Plasticity (CP) modeling is a powerful and well established computational materials
science tool to investigate mechanical structure–property relations in crystalline materials. It …

The asymmetric mechanical response and corresponding statistical grain-scale slip/twinning
activity for extruded Mg-(0~ 5 wt%) Y sheets during room-temperature uniaxial tension and …

Magnesium is a lightweight structural metal but it exhibits low ductility—connected with
unusual, mechanistically unexplained, dislocation and plasticity phenomena—which makes …

A TD-split basal texture with two peaks highly tilted from the normal direction (ND) towards
the transverse direction (TD) is usually developed in Mg-Zn-Ca plates and can effectively …

The as-cast rare earth magnesium alloy is extremely difficult to be rolled due to poor
plasticity. In this paper, the rolled rare earth magnesium alloy thin sheet was successfully …

Heterostructures can effectively break the traditional strength-ductility trade-off dilemma.
However, how the texture of materials with heterostructure under hetero-deformation …

The strain rate (ε˙) and temperature (T) dependent mechanical response of single crystal
magnesium (Mg) micropillars compressed along the [2¯ 110] direction (a-axis) is …
