Bai, Y.; Santos, D. A.; Rezaei, S.; Stein, P.; Banerjee, S.; Xu, B.-X.: A chemo-mechanical damage model at large deformation: numerical and experimental studies on polycrystalline energy materials. International Journal of Solids and Structures 228, 111099 (2021)
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.
