Abstract: An internal state variable void coalescence equation developed by , , , and (2000, Theor. Appl. Fract. Mech., 33(1), pp. 31–47) that comprises void impingement and void sheet mechanisms is ...

Abstract: Modern computational methods have proved invaluable for the design and analysis of structural components using lightweight materials. The challenge of optimizing lightweight materials in the design ...

Abstract: The fatigue behavior of friction stir spot welds in magnesium AZ31 alloy is experimentally investigated and modeled. The friction stir spot welds employed in this study are representative of ...

Abstract: For very shallow indentations in W, Al, Au, and Fe-3wt%Si single crystals, hardness decreased with increasing depth irrespective of increasing or decreasing strain gradients. As such, strain ...

Abstract: An integrated design framework that employs multiscale analysis to facilitate concurrent product, material, and manufacturing process design is presented in this work. To account for uncertainties ...

Abstract: Pore formation remains a concern in the area of rapid manufacturing by the laser engineered net shaping process. Results usually conflict on the origin of these pores; whether it should stem ...

Abstract: We analyze simple shear and torsion of single crystal copper by employing experiments, molecular dynamics simulations, and finite element simulations in order to focus on the kinematic responses ...

Abstract: General theory of semi-empirical potential methods including embedded-atom method and modified-embedded-atom method (MEAM) is reviewed. The procedures to construct these potentials are also reviewed. ...
