Understanding the fracture behaviour of a material is essential for the sustainable design of
structural components. The complex nature of microscale mechanical testing techniques …

A strain gradient crystal plasticity finite element model is developed to study the evolution of
internal and localized elastic strains in hexagonal close-packed polycrystals. The results of …

Rates of fatigue crack growth in Zircaloy-4 are highly microstructurally sensitive and
dependent upon texture. Crystal plasticity finite element modelling with the eXtended Finite …

The incorporation of four different microstructure-sensitive damage mechanisms into a
crystal plasticity finite element model is described in detail. The nucleation and propagation …

Short fatigue crack growth behavior of zirconium was quantitatively investigated through
post-mortem electron backscattering diffraction analyses. Results show that the short fatigue …

Dislocation distribution is one of the elementary factors that directly influence deformation
processes in structural components. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis is one …

Generally, edge crack of rolled magnesium alloy sheets initiates in the RD (rolling direction)-
ND (normal direction) plane and then propagate in the RD-TD (transverse direction) plane …

Abstract 7055 aluminum alloy was produced by twin-roll casting (TRC) and by conventional
mold casting (MC). Homogenization at 465° C for 24 h with natural cooling was applied …

To address the low toughness issue in titanium alloy friction weld joints, this study employs
electropulsing treatment to synergistically control the microstructure of TC11/TC17 linear …

High current pulsed electron beam (HCPEB) was used to modify the surface microstructure
and performance of AISI 304 stainless steel with different cold-rolling deformation. The …
