Abstract: It is a great honor and privilege for me to begin my term as Editor of the JEMT. I have served and contributed to the JEMT for over 20 years as a reviewer, author, guest editor for ...

Abstract: A stochastic dislocation dynamics (SDD) model is developed to investigate dislocation glide through dispersed obstacles. The model accounts for: 1) the dynamics of the flight process between ...

Abstract: The strengthening effect of precipitates in metals is investigated within a multiscale approach that utilizes models of various length scales; namely, molecular mechanics (MM), discrete dislocation dynamics (DD), and an ...

Abstract: The bulge forming performance of Pb-Sn superplastic sheet materials is evaluated under different forming pressure-time profiles. In addition, an “optimum” pressure-time profile based on variable ...

Abstract: Recent advances in 3-D dislocation dynamics include the proper treatment of free surfaces in the simulations. Dislocation interaction and slip is treated as a boundary-value problem for which a ...

Abstract: The arching phenomenon is intrinsic to granular materials and is a manifestation of the effects of their discrete microstructure. The fundamental mechanism of arching is the ability of discrete granular particles to transfer ...

Abstract: The majority of the papers contributed toward this special issue were presented at the symposium “Multi-scale Modeling of Plastic Deformation Phenomena” which was co-chaired by Prof. Tariq Khraishi ...

Abstract: We present a framework coupling continuum elasto-viscoplasticity with three-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics. In this approach, the elastic response is governed by the classical Hooke’s law ...

Abstract: In latent interactions of dislocations, junction formation is one of the most important phenomena that contribute to the evolution of strength. In this work, the latent hardening coefficients ...
