Intermetallic compounds (ICs) have been actively investigated since the early twentieth
century due to their high strength, especially at high temperatures, as well as a variety of …

Performance degradation in shape memory alloys (SMA) arises due to a gradual loss of
strain recoverability attributable to slip mediated plasticity. The slip-induced changes in …

Catastrophic accidents caused by fatigue failures often occur in engineering structures.
Thus, a fundamental understanding of cyclic-deformation and fatigue-failure mechanisms is …

Due to the layer-by-layer build-up of additively manufactured parts, the deposited material
experiences a cyclic re-heating in the form of a sequence of temperature pulses. In the …

A FeCoCrNiMo 0.23 high entropy alloy was processed by powder metallurgy with two
conditions: hot extruded and annealed. In situ neutron diffraction, together with electron …

An elasto-plastic self-consistent (EPSC) polycrystal model is extended to account, in an
approximate fashion, for the kinematics of large strains, rigid body rotations, texture …

The material characterization toolbox has recently experienced a number of parallel
revolutionary advances, foreshadowing a time in the near future when material scientists …

Due to the excellent balance of strength and ductility exhibited by some Mg-Zn-RE (Y
