This work reviews state of the art representative volume element (RVE) generation
techniques for heterogeneous materials. To this end, we present a systematic classification …

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

A strategy based on representative volume element (RVE) was proposed to investigate the
mechanical behavior of cold-drawn pearlitic steels at multiscale. Firstly, a finite element …

This paper attempts to study the microstructural stress-strain evolution and strain localization
in the ferrite-pearlite steel by high-resolution experimental-numerical integrated testing …

Pearlitic steels possess excellent mechanical properties due to their multiscale
microstructures, yet this configuration introduces complex size and interface effects …

Strain accumulation as a result of cyclic loading affects the microstructure and mechanical
performance of low-alloy steels under cyclic operation conditition. This manuscript presents …

A dual-scale finite element model is proposed to investigate the failure of ferrite-bainite (FB)
dual-phase steel in the hole expansion test. The first level simulation solves the elastic …

Microscopic stress and strain partitioning control the mechanical and damage behavior of
multiphase steels. Using a combined numerical and experimental approach, local strain …

Designing multiphase metals based on their constituent phase micromechanical properties
and using these metals for manufacturing lightweight automotive parts are a challenging …

The main objective of this study is to predict the deformation behavior, strain localization,
and forming limits of ferrite-pearlite steels by incorporating the contributions of the …
