In this study, for the first time, the evolution of geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) and
statistically stored dislocation (SSD) densities, as well as their roles in strain hardening …

Abstract Ti-6Al, Ti-6Al-2Mo and Ti-6Al-3Nb alloys were prepared to investigate the
toughening effects of β stabilizers Mo and Nb on impact toughness and crack resistance of …

Fabrication of miniaturized titanium thin-walled products directly using sheet metals is
proven to be a promising approach with high productivity. In this process, however, there are …

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 …

Metastable body-centered cubic titanium alloys exhibiting {332}< 113> twinning-induced
plasticity (TWIP) have attracted extensive attention owing to their remarkable strain …

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

The microstructure degradation and subsequent phase transformations in Waspaloy nickel-
based superalloy during thermal exposure at 780° C for 10,000 h were investigated. Two …

Texture, microstructure, and local grain neighbourhood contribute to the development of
localized stresses in polycrystals. For hexagonal close-packed materials, crystal's elastic …

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