The strength-ductility trade-off is a long-standing challenge in engineering and material
sciences. The introductions of twin boundary or phase boundary in materials have been …

The relationship between grain boundary sliding (GBS) and slip transmission is investigated
experimentally at grain boundaries in 99.99% aluminum with a through-thickness, coarse …

While the grain size effect (GSE) is universally observed in polycrystalline metals and alloys,
extended dislocation pileups (DPUs) at grain boundaries (GBs) are rarely observed …

In a material under stress, grain boundaries may give rise to stress discontinuities. Stress
localization is crucial to materials' behavior such as segregation, precipitation, and void …

We consider a mesoscale continuum model for the evolution of dislocation density in small-
strain crystal plasticity. The model is based on the continuum dislocation dynamics theory …

Pure tungsten is known to be a strong material but very brittle, due to its grain boundary
structure. In a quest for improvement of the cold-work capacity of tungsten alloys, pure …

Shear localization in nanocrystalline metals is a severely limiting factor precluding their use
as practical engineering materials. While several strategies exist to enhance the thermal and …

In this study, expressions for the interior stress fields of a spherical inclusion with uniform
eigenstrain embedded in an anisotropic bi-material featuring a planar interface are derived …

Based on the image decomposition method and the Leknitskii-Eshelby-Stroh (LES)
formalism, the effects of surface conditions and misorientation on the dislocation image …

Solute segregation towards grain boundaries is investigated by modeling solute atoms as
elastic dipoles interacting with the strain fields of symmetric tilt low-angle grain boundaries …
