Insights into the Role of Mechanics on Diffusion-Controlled Phase Transformations using Phase Field Models

MPIE Colloquium
The role played by the microstructures ensuing from phase transformations on the mechanical properties is now very well documented and thoroughly studied, in particular in metallic alloys. Although there is also a large number of works devoted to the reverse, i.e. the influence of mechanics on the ... [more]

Application of Scientific Principles to Aluminium Automotive Sheet

Abstract Aluminium has been used in the manufacture of automobiles for more than 100 years and current usage averages more than 150kg per vehicle. Recent demands for higher fuel economy, improved vehicle performance, and lower CO2 emissions are currently driving a dramatic increase in the usage of ... [more]

Shear bands in metallic glasses: what are they, how to find them?

The plastic deformation in metallic glasses proceeds through the activation and sliding of shear bands (SBs). A better plasticity in metallic glasses can be achieved through the enhancement of SB stability and proliferation. Therefore, efforts have been made to understand the true nature of SBs in ...

Phase-field Modeling of Polycrystalline Structures: From Needle Crystals to Spherulites Phase-field Modeling of Polycrystalline Structures: From Needle Crystals to Spherulites

MPIE Colloquium
Results in modeling complex polycrystalline structures by phase-field models that monitor the local crystallographic by scalar or vector orientation fields will be reviewed. The applied models incorporate homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation of growth centers, and several mechanisms to form new ... [more]
