Rezaei, S.; Jaworek, D.; Mianroodi, J. R.; Wulfinghoff, S.; Reese, S.: Atomistically motivated interface model to account for coupled plasticity and damage at grain boundaries. Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids 124, pp. 325 - 349 (2019)
Here the focus lies on investigating the temperature dependent deformation of material interfaces down to the individual microstructural length-scales, such as grain/phase boundaries or hetero-interfaces, to understand brittle-ductile transitions in deformation and the role of chemistry or crystallography on it.
In this project, we aim to enhance the mechanical properties of an equiatomic CoCrNi medium-entropy alloy (MEA) by interstitial alloying. Carbon and nitrogen with varying contents have been added into the face-centred cubic structured CoCrNi MEA.
