Robustness to formation geological heterogeneities of the limited entry technique for multi-stage fracturing of horizontal wells

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

Robustness to formation geological heterogeneities of the limited entry technique for multi-stage fracturing of horizontal wells is investigated. It is necessary to simulate the complete process of initiation and propagation of multiple hydraulic fractures ...

The origins of high hardening and low ductility in magnesium

William Curtin, Zhaoxuan Wu

Magnesium is a lightweight structural metal but it exhibits low ductility-connected with unusual, mechanistically unexplained, dislocation and plasticity phenomena-which makes it difficult to form and use in energy-saving lightweight structures. We employ ...

Crystal plasticity finite element modelling of low cycle fatigue in fcc metals

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Nicolò Grilli

A new dislocation-based model for low cycle fatigue in fcc metals at a length scale smaller than the feature size of the dislocation structures is presented. It uses the crystal plasticity finite element method and dislocation densities as internal variabl ...

Robust atomistic calculation of dislocation line tension

William Curtin, Fabio Pavia, Benjamin Alexander Szajewski

The line tension Gamma of a dislocation is an important and fundamental property ubiquitous to continuum scale models of metal plasticity. However, the precise value of Gamma in a given material has proven difficult to assess, with literature values encomp ...

Mechanisms of hydrogen-enhanced localized plasticity: An atomistic study using alpha-Fe as a model system

William Curtin

Atomistic simulations of the effects of H on edge dislocation mobility and pile-ups are performed to investigate possible nanoscale mechanisms for hydrogen-enhanced localized plasticity (HELP). alpha-Fe is used as a model system because H diffusion is fast ...
