Nanomechanical characterization of the fracture toughness of Al/SiC nanolaminates
L. W. Yang, C. R. Mayer, N. Chawla +2
The fracture toughness of Al/SiC nanolaminates with different layer thicknesses (in the range 10 to 100 nm) was measured by means of micropillar splitting and bending of a notched…
Prediction of the Al-rich part of the Al-Cu phase diagram using cluster expansion and statistical mechanics
S. Liu, E. Martínez, J. LLorca
The thermodynamic properties of α-Al and other phases (GP zones, θ'', θ' and θ) in the Al-rich part of the Al-Cu system have been obtained by means of the cluster expansion formali…
A criterion for slip transfer at grain boundaries in Al
R. Alizadeh, M. Peña-Ortega, T. R. Bieler +1
The slip transfer phenomenon was studied at the grain boundaries of pure Aluminum by means of slip trace analysis. Either slip transfer or blocked slip was analyzed in more than 25…
High fidelity simulation of the mechanical behavior of closed-cell polyurethane foams
M. Marvi-Mashhadi, C. S. Lopes, J. LLorca
The mechanical behavior of closed-cell foams in compression is analyzed by means of the finite element simulation of a representative volume element of the microstructure. The digi…
Grain boundary strengthening of FCC polycrystals
R. A. Rubio, S. Haouala, J. LLorca
The effect of grain size on the flow strength of FCC polycrystals was analyzed by means of computational homogenization. The mechanical behavior of each grain was dictated by a dis…
