Metal fatigue during cyclic loading puts an endurance limit on most of today's technology. It impacts the reliability of metallic components used for transportation, electronic devices and energy production because fatigue failure can occur without any app ...
The formation of a vein during cyclic shearing of a single copper crystal oriented for single slip can be followed in transmission Laue diffraction by analyzing the spatially resolved lattice rotation evolution. Because Laue transmission integrates the sig ...
The role of pre-existing mobile and immobile dislocation densities on the evolution of geometrical necessary dislocation densities (GNDs) during cyclic fatigue in shear is studied using a continuum dislocation-based model incorporated in a crystal plastici ...
Precursors of failure are dislocation mechanisms at the nanoscale and dislocation organization at the mesoscale responsible for long-range internal stresses and lattice rotation. Detailed information on the link between both scales is missing, computationa ...

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 ...
