Quantifying structure-property relationships during resistance spot welding of an aluminum 6061-T6 joint
S. A. Turnage, K. A. Darling, M. Rajagopalan +4
Microstructure-property relationships of resistance spot welded 6061-T6 aluminum alloy lap joints were investigated via mechanical testing and microscopy techniques. Quasi-static t…
Critical assessment of hydrogen effects on the slip transmission across grain boundaries in α-Fe
I. Adlakha, K. N. Solanki
Grain boundaries (GBs) play a fundamental role in the strengthening mechanism of crystalline structures by acting as an impediment to dislocation motion. However, the presence of a…
Atomic-scale investigation of creep behavior in nanocrystalline Mg and Mg-Y alloys
M. A. Bhatia, S. N. Mathaudhu, K. N. Solanki
Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys offer great potential for reducing vehicular mass and energy consumption due to their inherently low densities. Historically, widespread applicability…
Binding of HeV Clusters to -Fe Grain Boundaries
M. A. Tschopp, F. Gao, K. N. Solanki
The objective of this research is to explore the formation/binding energetics and length scales associated with the interaction between HeV clusters and grain boundaries in bcc…
Grain boundary segregation of interstitial and substitutional impurity atoms in alpha-iron
M. Rajagopalan, M. A. Tschopp, K. N. Solanki
The macroscopic behavior of polycrystalline materials is influenced by the local variation of properties caused by the presence of impurities and defects. The effect of these impur…
Energetics of vacancy segregation to symmetric tilt grain boundaries in HCP materials
M. A. Bhatia, K. N. Solanki
Molecular static simulations of 190 symmetric tilt grain boundaries in HCP metals were used to understand the energetics of vacancy segregation, which is important for designing st…
Nonlocal Modeling in High-Velocity Impact Failure of 6061-T6 Aluminum
F. R. Ahad, K. Enakoutsa, K. N. Solanki +1
In this paper, we present numerical simulations with local and nonlocal models under dynamic loading conditions. We show that for finite element (FE) computations of high-velocity,…
Atomic scale investigation of grain boundary structure role on deformation and crack growth dynamics in Aluminum
I. Adlakha, M. A. Bhatia, K. N. Solanki +1
The role that grain boundary (GB) structure plays on the plasticity of interfaces with preexisting cracks and on the interface crack dynamics was investigated using MD for both <10…
