Hard-sphere displacive model of deformation twinning in hexagonal close-packed metals. Revisiting the case of the (56, a) contraction twins in magnesium
This is the first account of the history of our understanding of, and ability to model, solidification microstructures. Its objective is to retrace the scientific steps made, from the earliest observations of the eighteenth century to our present-day under ...
Dislocation emission from a crack tip is a necessary mechanism for crack tip blunting and toughening. A material is intrinsically ductile under Mode I loading when the critical stress intensity KIe for dislocation emission is lower than the critical s ...
The mechanical strength of metals depends on their resistance against various microscopic
deformation processes. In ductile metals, the most important process is shearing of the crystal
lattice by dislocations. One of the fundamental aspects of dislocation ...
Models for cardiac mechanics require an activation mechanism properly representing the stress-strain relations in the contracting myocardium. In this paper, we propose a new activation model that accounts for the transmural heterogeneities observed in myoc ...
The plastic deformation in hcp metals is complex, with the associated dislocation core structures and properties not well understood on many slip planes in most hcp metals. A first step in establishing the dislocation properties is to examine the stable st ...
The stress-induced fcc-austenite to hcp-martensite transformation in the iron based shape memory alloy (SMA) Fe-17Mn-5Si-10Cr-4Ni with and without VC precipitates is investigated by in-situ neutron diffraction measurements upon uniaxial loading and unloadi ...
A crystallographic displacive model is proposed for the extension twins in magnesium. The atomic displacements are established, and the homogeneous lattice distortion is analytically expressed as a continuous angular-distortive matrix that becomes a shear ...
