To ensure a more representative simulation of meso‑scale and macro-scale deformation, it
is important the underlying constitutive relations are advanced to more effectively …

Deformation mechanism-based constitutive modeling can serve as a flexible tool to optimize
the microstructure of hetero-structured metals for achieving better mechanical performance …

Dislocation transmission across grain boundary (GB) and activation of dislocation source in
adjacent grains are considered common features of dislocation-GB interactions in regulating …

Traditionally, modeling the effect of grain size on the mechanical behavior of crystalline
materials is based on assuming an equivalent homogenous microstructure with strength …

A novel dislocation mechanism to interpret the Bauschinger effect in polycrystalline metals is
proposed namely dislocation pile-up polarization. We show that the variability of GB …

The strength-elongation to fracture (ε f) trade-off and low strain hardening rate have been a
longstanding dilemma in titanium alloys. In this work, we innovatively manufactured a novel …

Specimens of gradient IF steel produced as a result of severe plastic deformations often
display strong textures that cannot be completely eliminated by annealing. Both the gradient …

In this account, the ductile tearing behavior of a 0.08 mm thick ultra-thin martensitic stainless
steel sheet was probed during the blanking process. The experiments suggested that void …

In this works, we investigated the microstructures and low cycle fatigue (LCF) performance of
linear friction welded (LFWed) joint of Ti-6.5 Al-3.5 Mo-1.5 Zr-0.3 Si (TC11) and Ti-4Mo-4Cr …

Substantial research has shown the remarkable mechanical properties such as high stress
and excellent strain hardening of nanocrystalline (NC) materials with a grain size gradient …
