The deformation of copper with grain size less than 10 nm is investigated using a 2D continuum model incorporating atomistically-based constitutive relations. The local constitutive response of a series of symmetric and asymmetric tilt grain boundaries is ...
The plastic response of a sheet metal is governed by the collective response of the underlying grains. Intragranular plasticity depends on intrinsic variables such as crystallographic orientation and on extrinsic variables such as grain interactions; howev ...
Room temperature investigations on the shear stress and deformation mechanisms of (Mg0.9Fe0.1)SiO3 perovskite are performed in situ up to 32 GPa using radial X-ray diffraction and the diamond anvil cell as a deformation apparatus. The uniaxial stress suppo ...
Undertaken in the field of design methods for flexible pavement, the present study focuses on the introduction of traffic loads, applied mainly to mechanistic empirical methods. In such research, strains due to traffic loads — calculated by pavement modeli ...
During casting of aluminum alloys, the partially solidified material is submitted to thermally induced strains that can lead to severe casting defects, such as hot tearing. In this work, carried out in the frame of the European project VIR[CAST], the rheol ...
We have examined the yielding and fracture behavior of Zr57.4Cu16.4Ni8.2Ta8Al10 metallic-glass-matrix composites with a small volume fraction (similar to 4 pct) of ductile crystalline particles under quasi-static uniaxial tension and compression and dynami ...
The characterization of In-grain orientation gradients by electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) technique was studied. The study, based on finite element (FE) technique, involved the simulation of plane strain compression of the crystal grains. In reg ...
Small volume deformation can produce two types of plastic instability events. The first involves dislocation nucleation as a dislocation by dislocation event and occurs in nanoparticles or bulk single crystals deformed by atomic force microscopy or small n ...
This paper describes the production of an adaptive composite by embedding thin pre-strained shape memory alloy actuators into a Kevlar-epoxy host material. In order to combine the activation and sensing capabilities, fibre Bragg grating sensors are also em ...
A comparison of experimental observations and computer simulations shows that trends in the occurrence and severity of center cracks in direct-chill (DC) cast ingots due to different initial casting speed histories may best be explained by the changes in v ...
