E-twinning is the dominant mechanism of plastic deformation calcite at low temperature (<300 °C), and in most limestones, e-twins are, crystal scale, microstructures [...]

Damage from small manufacturing defects often go unnoticed until fatigue cracks have grown beyond repairability. These initiate at with dimensions on par the microstructure length scale (e.g., 5–200 µm deep), which affects variability and renders most engineering prognosis methods inapplicable. This work develops a novel microstructure-sensitive formulation that reduces computational efforts by...

Abstract. In additive manufacturing processes, the resulting products might have highly anisotropic granular morphologies due to complex thermal history. The most commonly observed morphology is columnar structure. of grains accompanied by orientation alignment leading plastic anisotropy. It has been shown in a recent study through local crystal plasticity calculations that evolution does not i...
