We study the crushing strength of brittle materials whose internal structure (e.g., mineral particles or graining) presents a layered arrangement reminiscent of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Taking a discrete-element approach, we probe…
Large deformation analysis in geomechanics plays an important role in understanding the nature of post-failure flows and hazards associated with landslides under different natural calamities. In this study, a SPH framework is proposed for…
Dynamic recrystallization is one of the main phenomena responsible for microstructure evolutions during hot forming. Consequently, getting a better understanding of DRX mechanisms and being able to predict them is crucial. This paper…
The study of defect phases is important for designing nanostructured metals and alloys. Grain boundaries (GBs) form one class of defects that directly influence materials properties, such as deformability and strength. At the same time,…
Fracture in aluminum alloys with precipitates involves at least two mechanisms, namely, ductile fracture of the aluminum-rich matrix and brittle fracture of the precipitates. In this work, a coupled crystal plasticity-phase field model for…
The objective of this work is to assess computationally efficient coarse-grained plasticity models against high-fidelity crystal plasticity simulations for magnesium polycrystals over a wide range of textures and grain sizes. A basic…
Atomic diffusion affects the properties of various engineering materials, which predominantly occur in the polycrystalline state. A rigorous description of polycrystalline diffusion must therefore account for crystallographic defects,…
The thermodynamic entropy of coarse-grained (CG) models stands as one of the most important properties for quantifying the missing information during the CG process and for establishing transferable (or extendible) CG interactions. However,…
A theoretical-computational framework is proposed for predicting the failure behavior of two anisotropic brittle materials, namely, single crystal magnesium and boron carbide. Constitutive equations are derived, in both small and large…
We demonstrate insights into the three-dimensional structure of defects in graphene, in particular grain boundaries, obtained via a new approach from two transmission electron microscopy images recorded at different angles. The structure is…
We revisit the problem of describing creep in heterogeneous materials by an effective temperature by considering more realistic (and complex) non-mean-field elastic redistribution kernels. We show first, from theoretical considerations,…
Macroscopic modeling of a non-crimp fabric's (NCF's) forming behavior is challenging as it strongly depends on the textile architecture, fiber type, and stitching type. While shear is the main deformation mode of woven fabrics, membrane…
High strength 7xxx Al-alloys are currently commonly used in aerospace and are expected to be increasingly employed in the automotive sector for weight reduction purposes. These alloys can however be sensitive to stress-corrosion cracking…
Microstructures are critical to the physical properties of materials. Stochastic microstructures are commonly observed in many kinds of materials and traditional descriptor-based image analysis of them can be challenging. In this paper, we…
The study reports a systematic evaluation of the role of spatially correlated mechanical elements on failure behavior of heterogeneous materials represented by fiber bundle models (FBM) with different load redistribution rules. The increase…
We study the cusp/core problem using a secondary infall model (SIM) that takes into account the effect of ordered and random angular momentum, dynamical friction and baryons adiabatic contraction. The model is applied to structures on…
The incredible thermo-mechanical properties of biological materials arise from the microscopic scale due to a complex hierarchical mechanism, regulated by microinstabilities at the molecular level. The description of such complex structures…
In traditional phase-field modeling of multiphase materials, a significant challenge arises from the non-local nature of fracture energy regularization, where interfacial toughness is inherently coupled with the properties of the…
This paper presents a new adaptive multiscale homogenization scheme for the simulation of damage and fracture in concrete structures. A two-scale homogenization method, coupling meso-scale discrete particle models to macro- scale finite…
This paper presents a multi-scale modelling approach to investigate the underpinning mechanisms of microstructure-sensitive damage of single crystal Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu (wt%, SAC305) solder joints of a Ball Grid Array (BGA) board assembly subject…
