Previous studies demonstrate that grain-boundary sliding could accelerate creep rate and give rise to large internal stresses that can lead to damage development, e.g. formation of wedge cracks. The present study provides more insight into…
A novel complex-phase steel alloy is conceived with a deliberately unstable austenite, $\gamma$, phase that enables the deformation-induced martensitic transformations (DIMT) to be explored at low levels of plastic strain. The DIMT was thus…
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…
In the presented research, the intergranular elastic interaction and the second-order plastic incompatibility stress in textured ferritic and austenitic steels were investigated by means of diffraction. The lattice strains were measured…
Grain growth is a key process in the thermomechanical treatment of metals. Recently, the presence of local residual stresses within fully recrystallized grains has attracted increasing interest in connection with shear-coupled grain…
Deformation heterogeneities within microstructures of polycrystalline shape memory alloys (SMAs) during superelastic stressing are studied using both experiments and simulations. In situ X-ray diffraction, specifically the far-field high…
We study the impact of a projectile onto a bed of 3 mm grains immersed in an index-matched fluid. Specifically, we vary the amount of prestrain on the sample, strengthening the force chains within the system. We find this affects only the…
Tensile twinning is a main deformation mode in hexagonal close packed structure metals, so it is important to comprehensively understand twinning mechanisms which are not fully disclosed using 2D or small volume 3D characterization…
The onset of nonlinear effects in metals, such as plasticity and damage, is strongly influenced by the heterogeneous stress distribution at the grain level. This work is devoted to studying the local stress distribution of shear stresses…
Strength, ductility, and failure properties of metals are tailored by plastic deformation routes. Predicting these properties requires modeling of the structural dynamics and stress evolution taking place on several length scales. Progress…
The movement and deformation of mineral grains in rocks control the failure behavior of rocks. However, at high resolution, the physical and mechanical behavior of three-dimensional microstructures in rocks under uniaxial compression has…
We present an original approach for predicting the static recrystallization texture development during annealing of deformed crystalline materials. The microstructure is considered as a population of subgrains and grains whose sizes and…
Three-dimensional dislocation dynamics simulations are used to study micro-crack interaction with the first micro-structural barrier in face-centred cubic bi-crystals loaded in high cycle fatigue conditions. In the examined configuration,…
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…
This study investigates the boundary migration mechanisms near the sample surface of recrystallizing grains in high-purity Al subjected to cryogenic rolling. Local strain and stress tensors were characterized during \textit{in situ}…
In the present work, theoretical approaches, based on grain orientation dependent Young's modulus and Schmid factor are used to describe the influence of local grain orientation on crack initiation behaviour of the coarse grained nickel…
In-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) have been used to investigate many physical science phenomena, ranging from phase transitions, chemical reaction and crystal growth to grain boundary dynamics. A…
The present study evidences the role of ferrite grain size distributions on the occurrence of void initiation in a low carbon steel. Various thermomechanical treatments were done to create ultrafine, bimodal and coarse range of ferrite…
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…
Combined high-energy X-ray diffraction microscopy (HEDM) and crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE) modeling studies have emerged as a preferred paradigm to shed insight into the evolution of elasticity and plasticity at the intragrain…
