Data-driven body-centered cubic phase prediction in cobalt free high-entropy alloys

Xuliang Luo, Yulin Li, Tero Mäkinen +3

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are known for superb combination of performance attributes, making them ideal for advanced applications, e.g., nuclear engineering. The concept of cobalt…

Stochastic ion emission perturbation mechanisms in atom probe tomography: Linking simulations to experiment

Aslam Shaikh, Tero Mäkinen, François Vurpillot +2

Field evaporation in atom probe tomography (APT) includes known processes related to surface migration of atoms, such as the so-called roll-up mechanism. They lead to trajectory ab…

Growth and prediction of plastic strain in metallic glasses

Tero Mäkinen, Anshul D. S. Parmar, Silvia Bonfanti +1

Predicting the failure and plasticity of solids remains a longstanding challenge, with broad implications for materials design and functional reliability. Disordered solids like me…

Crack propagation by activated avalanches during creep and fatigue from elastic interface theory

Tero Mäkinen, Lumi Tuokkola, Joonas Lahikainen +3

The growth of cracks combines materials science, fracture mechanics, and statistical physics. The importance of fluctuations in the crack velocity is fundamental since it signals t…

Avalanches in CuZrAl metallic glasses

Tero Mäkinen, Anshul D. S. Parmar, Silvia Bonfanti +1

Metallic glasses have mechanical properties, which exhibit avalanches in the disguise of stress drops. We study these phenomena in a classical metallic glass system CuZrAl by ather…

Striation lines in intermittent fatigue crack growth in an Al alloy

Anniina Kinnunen, Ivan V. Lomakin, Tero Mäkinen +3

Fatigue failure of crystalline materials is a difficult problem in science and engineering, and recent results have shown that fatigue crack growth can occur in intermittent jumps…

Failure precursors and failure mechanisms in hierarchically patterned paper sheets in tensile and creep loading

Mahshid Pournajar, Tero Mäkinen, Seyyed Ahmad Hosseini +3

Quasi-brittle materials endowed with (statistically) self-similar hierarcical microstructures show distinct failure patterns that deviate from the standard scenario of damage accum…

Detection of the onset of yielding and creep failure from digital image correlation

Tero Mäkinen, Agata Zaborowska, Małgorzata Frelek-Kozak +4

There are a multitude of applications in which structural materials would be desired to be nondestructively evaluated, while in a component, for plasticity and failure characterist…

History effects in the creep of a disordered brittle material

Tero Mäkinen, Jérôme Weiss, David Amitrano +1

We study the creep behavior of a disordered brittle material (concrete) under successive loading steps, using acoustic emission and ultrasonic sensing to track internal damage. The…

Propagating bands of plastic deformation in a metal alloy as critical avalanches

Tero Mäkinen, Pasi Karppinen, Markus Ovaska +2

The plastic deformation of metal alloys localizes in the Portevin--Le Chatelier effect in bands of different types, including propagating, or type 'A' bands, usually characterised…

Avalanches in wood compression

Tero Mäkinen, Amandine Miksic, Markus Ovaska +1

Wood is a multi-scale material exhibiting a complex viscoplastic response. We study avalanches in small wood samples in compression. "Woodquakes" measured by acoustic emission are…
