A model has been developed which simulates the deformation of single crystal austenitic stainless steels and cap-tures the effects of hydrogen on stress corrosion cracking. The model is based on the crystal plasticity theory which relates…
Randomness in the void distribution within a ductile metal complicates quantitative modeling of damage following the void growth to coalescence failure process. Though the sequence of micro-mechanisms leading to ductile failure is known…
Coalescence of voids by internal necking is in most cases the last microscopic event related to ductile fracture and corresponds to a localized plastic flow between adjacent voids. Macroscopic load associated to the onset of coalescence is…
Macroscopic voids at the steel-concrete interface and their degree of saturation with an aqueous electrolyte are known to play an important role in the corrosion of steel in reinforced concrete. Irrespective of the exposure conditions and…
In this paper we demonstrate the influence of the pore pressure to the development of a hydraulically-driven fracture in a poroelastic medium. We present a novel numerical model for propagation of a planar hydraulic fracture and prove its…
Ductile fracture has been extensively studied in metals with weak mechanical anisotropy such as copper and aluminum. The fracture of more anisotropic metals, especially those with a hexagonal crystal structure (e.g. titanium), remains far…
Bamboo has a functionally-graded microstructure that endows it with a combination of desirable properties, such as high failure strain, high toughness, and a low density. As a result, bamboo has been widely used in load-bearing structures.…
Immiscible fluid displacement in porous media is fundamental for many environmental processes, including infiltration of water in soils, groundwater remediation, enhanced recovery of hydrocarbons and carbon geosequestration. Microstructural…
At present, modeling of the plastic response of porous solids is done using stress-based plastic potentials. To gain understanding of the combined effects of all invariants for general three-dimensional loadings, a strain-rate based…
Inhomogeneous strain may develop in hybrid organic metal-halide perovskite thin films due to thermal expansion mismatch with a fabrication substrate, polycrystallinity or even light soaking. Measuring these spatially varying strains is…
This work outlines a diffuse interface method for the study of fracture and fragmentation in ductile metals at high strain-rates in Eulerian finite volume simulations. The work is based on an existing diffuse interface method capable of…
Voids can limit the life of engineering components. This motivates us to understand local plasticity around voids in a nickel base superalloy combining experiments and simulations. Single crystal samples were deformed in tension with…
The initiation of fluid-induced fracture in formations of permeable geomaterials subjected to quasi-stationary flow processes (drained response) can be strongly affected by Biot's coefficient and the size of the formation. The aim of this…
To avoid the impact of inherent natural imperfections on experimental outcomes during testing, a recently designed genuine triaxial apparatus has enabled the replication of conditions where the three principal stresses exhibit varying…
In this work, the spallation processes in the ductile metals are systematically discussed in theory. By employing the phase transition theory and non-equilibrium transport theory, the spallation processes of ductile metals under dynamic…
Nanoscale materials display enhanced strength and toughness but also larger fluctuations and more pronounced size effects with respect to their macroscopic counterparts. Here we study the system size-dependence of the failure strength…
Experiments test the dependence of shearing stress on the first two gradients of shear strain. The tests were conducted by direct numerical simulation using the Discrete Element Method (DEM) on a large two-dimensional (2D) assembly of…
In fractured poroelastic media under high differential stress, the shearing of fractures and faults and the corresponding propagation of wing cracks can be induced by fluid injection. Focusing on low-pressure stimulation with fluid…
Experimental investigations on the effect of thicknesses on mixed-mode I/II fracture are performed with an aluminum alloy with thicknesses of 2, 4, 8 and 14 mm. It is found that under pure-mode I loading condition, the loading capacity per…
This study investigates the mode I intra-laminar fracture and size effect in Discontinuous Fiber Composites (DFCs). Towards this goal, the results of fracture tests on geometrically-scaled Single Edge Notch Tension (SENT) specimens are…
