The interaction of dislocations with grain boundaries (GBs) determines a number of important aspects of the mechanical performance of materials, including strengthening and fatigue resistance. Here, the coupled atomistic/discretedislocation ( CADD) multisc ...
In this study, the tensile and fracture properties and the microstructure of the reduced-activation tempered martensitic steel Eurofer97 have been investigated. This technical alloy is a 9%Cr steel developed within the European fusion material research pro ...
We report an experimental investigation of the cutting of a thin brittle polymer sheet with a blunt tool. It was recently shown that the fracture path becomes oscillatory when the tool is much wider than the sheet thickness. Here we uncover two novel trans ...
Nanocrystalline metals have been an area of great interest in recent years due to their enhanced characteristics. One of the most striking is implied by the Hall-Petch relation: with decreasing grain size the material becomes stronger. This promise is fulf ...
A hierarchical multi-scale model that couples a region of material described by discrete dislocation plasticity to a surrounding region described by conventional crystal plasticity is presented. The coupled model is aimed at capturing non-classical plastic ...
Mode I crack growth along some grain boundaries of copper embrittled by solute segregation shows strong anisotropy. For instance, growth along the direction on the symmetrical tilt boundary has been reported to occur by intergranular brittle fracture, wher ...
Toughness measurements of a Ti-45Al-2N4u-2Nb + 0.8%vol TiB2 alloy with a. near fully lamellar microstructure and a Ti-46Al-8Nb alloy with a convoluted microstructure are performed at 650 degrees C under vacuum according to ASTM Standard E1820. Respective v ...
Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels are being investigated as possible structural material for components of future nuclear power plants. The dispersoids in the matrix (yttria particles) serve as pinning points for moving dislocations, and thereby i ...
We investigate the plastic flow properties at low and high temperature of the tempered martensitic steel Eurofer97. We show that below room temperature, where the Peierls friction on the screw dislocation is active, it is necessary to modify the usual Tayl ...
Molecular dynamics is used to examine the deformation and failure of Al-Si interfaces and of nanocomposites consisting of Al and Si nanograins loaded in tension. The modified embedded atom method, is used to describe the forces and energies in the system a ...
