Abstract: The mechanical responses of small volume metallic compounds are addressed in this work through developing a nonlocal continuum theory. In this regard, a thermodynamicbased higherorder straingradient plasticity framework ...

Abstract: The recently growing demand for production and applications of microscale devices and systems has motivated research on the behavior of small volume materials. The computational models have become one of great interests ...

Abstract: The mechanical and thermal behavior of small volume metallic compounds on the fast transient time are addressed in this work through developing a thermodynamically consistent nonlocal framework. In this regard, an enhanced ...

Abstract: In the present study, a general probabilistic design framework is developed for cyclic fatigue life prediction of metallic hardware using methods that address uncertainty in experimental data and computational model. The ...
