The viscoplastic deformation (creep) of crystalline materials under constant stress involves the motion of a large number of interacting dislocations. Analytical methods and sophisticated `dislocation-dynamics' simulations have proved very…

A numerical strategy to simulate plastic deformation in Mg alloys including dislocation slip and twin propagation is presented. Dislocation slip is included through a crystal plasticity model which is solved using the finite element method…

A phase field model is presented to investigate dislocation formation (coherency loss) and workhardening in two-phase binary alloys. In our model the elastic energy density is a periodic function of the shear and tetragonal strains, which…

To study the size and strain rate dependency of copper polycrystalline microstructures, a multi-layered copper/Al$_2$O$_3$ thin film was deposited on a Si substrate using a hybrid deposition system (combining physical vapour and atomic…

The present work investigates the role of grain boundary (GB) on the sources of size effects. Up to now, several studies have been conducted to address the role of GBs in size effects from the atomistic point of view. However, a study which…

Three-dimensional X-ray diffraction (3DXRD) has been used to measure, in-situ, the evolution of $\sim 1800$ grains in a single phase low carbon ferritic steel sample during uniaxial deformation. The distribution of initial residual grain…

We utilized synchrotron-based in-situ diffraction and dominant shear deformation to identify, dissect, and quantify the relevant deformation mechanisms in nanocrystalline $\mathrm{Pd}_{90}\mathrm{Au}_{10}$ in the limiting case of grain…

In this study, the effect of ferrite grain size on the mechanical properties and dislocation behavior of dual-phase (DP) steel is investigated using dislocation-based crystal plasticity finite element analysis. DP steel, composed of a soft…

Dislocation and grain boundary melting are studied in three dimensions using the Phase Field Crystal method. Isolated dislocations are found to melt radially outward from their core, as the localized excess elastic energy drives a power law…

Understanding plastic deformation of crystals in terms of the fundamental physics of dislocations has remained a grand challenge in materials science for decades. To overcome this, the Discrete Dislocation Dynamics (DDD) method has been…

Coarse-grained, metallic materials undergo microstructure refinement during tribological loading. This in turn results in changing tribological properties, so understanding deformation under tribological load is mandatory when designing…

Alloying metals with other elements is often done to improve the material strength or hardness. A key microscopic mechanism is precipitation hardening, where precipitates impede dislocation motion, but the role of such obstacles in…

Revealing statistics of H-defect interactions provides insights into significant ductility loss due to the particular strain partitioning in H-charged structural alloys. Experimental investigation of these interactions is extremely…

In this work electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD)-assisted slip trace analysis and transmission electron microscopy have been utilized to investigate the interaction of basal dislocations with precipitates in the Mg alloys…

Hybrid Monte Carlo (MC)/molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are conducted to study the microstructures of nanocrystalline (nc) Cu/Ag alloys with various Ag concentrations. When the Ag concentration is below 50 Ag atoms/nm!, an increase in…

Grain boundaries (GBs) are a prolific microstructural feature that dominates the functionality of a wide class of materials. The change in functionality at a GB is a direct result of unique local atomic arrangements, different from those in…

It was recently reported that segregation of Zr to grain boundaries (GB) in nanocrystalline Cu can lead to the formation of disordered intergranular films [1,2]. In this study we employ atomistic computer simulations to study how the…

In a recent publication, we derived the mesoscale continuum theory of plasticity for multiple-slip systems of parallel edge dislocations, motivated by the statistical-based nonlocal continuum crystal plasticity theory for single-glide due…

Atomic migration from metallic contacts, and subsequent filament formation, is recognised as a prevailing mechanism leading to resistive switching in memristors based on two-dimensional materials (2DMs). This study presents a detailed…

We consider the gradient flow evolution of a phase-field model for crystal dislocations in a single slip system in the presence of forest dislocations. The model consists of a Peierls-Nabarro type energy penalizing non-integer slip and…
