An equilibrated polycrystalline material is considered, containing a small fraction of void space (melt or vapor), for which the crystals are above their roughening transition against this medium. The grain boundaries are approximated to have equal free en ...
Many phenomena in crystalline metals such as friction, nano-indentation and ductile fracture are plasticity-driven and poorly understood. The physical complexity is further increased by the inherently multiscale nature of contact and fracture [1]. This stu ...
As a necessary step toward the quantitative prediction of hot tearing defects, a three-dimensional stress–strain simulation based on a combined finite element (FE)/discrete element method (DEM) has been developed that is capable of predicting the mechanica ...
A new model, stress-gradient plasticity, is presented that provides unique mechanistic insight into size-dependent phenomena in plasticity. This dislocation-based model predicts strengthening of materials when a gradient in stress acts over dislocation sou ...
The interactions between 60 degrees dislocation pile-ups with grain boundaries (GBs) are studied using multiscale modeling. Careful quantitative analyses of complex processes associated with 60 degrees dislocation absorption and transmission phenomena at S ...
Non-polar a-GaN films grown on r-sapphire by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) are studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Despite the small lattice mismatch in a-GaN ([1 0 (1) over bar 0] similar to 1.1% and [0 00 1] similar to 16%), high d ...
Helium atoms are known to have a significant impact on materials used in fission and fusion reactors. In particular, the presence of helium atoms can change the mechanical properties and degrade the lifetime of reactors. In order to develop the helium-resi ...
Grain boundary engineering (GBE) aims at optimizing the properties of face centred cubic materials with low stacking fault energy by creating a high content of special twin boundaries. Quantifying twinning and its parameters, such as the twin related domai ...
Polycrystalline materials with crystallite diameters below hundred nanometer exhibit extraordinary strength which goes along with a decrease in ductility. In order to tailor tough materials, which combine strength and ductility, the underlying deformation ...
Degradation of mechanical properties due to nanometric irradiation induced defects is one of the challenging issues in designing ferritic materials for future nuclear fusion reactors. Various types of defects, namely dislocation loops, voids, He bubbles an ...
