In this paper, we systematically proposed the strategy of tailoring strain delocalization to
evade long-standing strength-ductility trade-off dilemma. The scientific contribution is to …

The initiation and propagation of short cracks are critical to the detailed understanding of the
failure mechanisms of engineering materials and structures. Therefore, for a safety critical …

The inherent defects associated with materials produced by selective laser melting (SLM)
limits their usage in safety-critical applications. In our work, a crystal plasticity (CP) based …

Lightweight titanium alloys are being increasingly used in high value structures, but in-depth
knowledge of the rotating bending fatigue (RBF) mechanism remains insufficient, particularly …

Characterizing the microstructure and deformation mechanism associated with the
performances and properties of metallic materials is of great importance in understanding …

Synchrotron X-ray tomography was used to monitor damage evolution in three dimensions
during in situ Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) tests at high temperature (250° C) for an industrial …

Porosity generated by the casting process has a detrimental effect on the high cycle fatigue
strength of cast aluminium alloys. The current study presents an investigation using the non …

Due to the premature fracture of several cast Al-Si alloy cylinder heads at the same position
during high-cycle fatigue (HCF) bench test, the HCF failure analysis including finite element …

Microstructures and mechanical properties of T7 heat-treated Al-5.0 Cu-0.6 Mn-1.0 Fe alloys
with different Ni content prepared via squeeze casting were studied using tensile testing …

The influence of ε-Al 3 Ni phase on tensile and creep performance of the Al–12Si-0.9 Cu-0.8
Mg-(1–4) Ni alloys was investigated at elevated temperature. The Image-Pro Plus was used …
