An energy residual-based approach to gradient effects within the mechanics of generalized continua

open access: yesJournal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials, 2012
Generalized continua exhibiting gradient effects are addressed through a method grounded on the energy residual (ER)-based gradient theory by the first author and coworkers.

Gradient flows as a selection procedure for equilibria of nonconvex energies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
For atomistic material models, global minimization gives the wrong qualitative behavior; a theory of equilibrium solutions needs to be defined in different terms.

Rafting of Ni‐Based Superalloys Under Multiaxial Load as Understood by Phase‐Field Simulations and Critical Experiments

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Phase‐field simulations coupled with dislocation‐density‐based crystal plasticity modeling reproduce γ′ rafting behavior in single‐crystal Ni‐based superalloys under varied loading conditions. The model captures both macroscopic creep and microscopic morphology evolution, with results matching high‐temperature creep experiments.

Chemomechanical modeling of lithiation-induced failure based on strain gradient plasticity theory

open access: yesForces in Mechanics
Porous silicon (Si) anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) experience significant diffusion-induced stress gradients during electrochemical cycling, leading to crack propagation and active material pulverization.

Analytical prediction of yield stress and strain hardening in a strain gradient plasticity material reinforced by small elastic particles

open access: yes, 2022
The influence on macroscopic work hardening of small, spherical, elastic particles dispersedwithin a matrix is studied using an isotropic strain gradient plasticity framework. An analyticalsolution for strain hardening, i.e. the flow stress as a function

Additive Manufacturing of Continuous Fibre Reinforced Composites: Process, Characterisation, Modelling, and Sustainability

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing provides precise control over the placement of continuous fibres within polymer matrices, enabling customised mechanical performance in composite components. This article explores processing strategies, mechanical testing, and modelling approaches for additive manufactured continuous fibre‐reinforced composites.

On the Derivation of Boundary Conditions for Continuum Dislocation Dynamics

open access: yesCrystals, 2017
Continuum dislocation dynamics (CDD) is a single crystal strain gradient plasticity theory based exclusively on the evolution of the dislocation state.

Evolution of the length scale in strain gradient plasticity

open access: yes, 2019
An equivalence is assumed between a microstructural length scale related to dislocation density and the constitutive length scale parameter in phenomenological strain gradient plasticity.

Phase Field Failure Modeling: Brittle‐Ductile Dual‐Phase Microstructures under Compressive Loading

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The approach by Amor and the approach by Miehe and Zhang for asymmetric damage behavior in the phase field method for fracture are compared regarding their fitness for microcrack‐based failure modeling. The comparison is performed for the case of a dual‐phase microstructure with a brittle and a ductile constituent.

Karl Popper and the Mechanisms of Hydrogen Embrittlement

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Representation of the beginning of loss of ductility rather than embrittlement. Small concentrations of hydrogen in a diffusible form within iron are well‐established to harm the mechanical integrity of steels. There are theories that attempt to explain the pernicious role of hydrogen.
