  2. Modeling the mechanical behavior of amorphous metals by shear transformation zone dynamics

    … proposed. The modeling framework considers the shear transformation zone (STZ) as the fundamental unit of deformation, and coarse-grains an amorphous collection of atoms into an ensemble of STZs on a mesh. By employing finite element analysis and a kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm, the modeling …

  3. Nanostructure stabilization and mechanical behavior of binary nanocrystalline alloys

    … as a consequence of a shift to glass-like shear localization. In light of this finding, we study the Hall-Petch breakdown at high strain rates, and show that an "inverse Hall-Petch" weakening regime emerges at high rates. Additional effects from structural relaxation are investigated, and …

  4. Microstructure design of mechanically alloyed materials

    … compacts suggest that this alloy deforms by shear localization. The penetration performance of this alloy is explored in sub-scale ballistic tests into concrete targets, and is found to be at least as good as current state-of-the-art penetrator materials.

  5. Localization and instability in sheared granular materials: role of friction and vibration

    Shear banding and stick-slip instabilities have been long observed in sheared granular materials. Yet, their microscopic underpinnings, interdependencies and variability under different loading conditions have not been fully explored. Here, we use a non-equilibrium thermodynamics model, the Shear

  6. Modeling of sheet metal fracture for shell finite elements with component level validation

    … of a finite element model. A general shape of a localization locus that demarcates DSSE for proportional membrane loading is identified through a Marciniak-Kuczynski type localization analysis. The locus is successfully fitted by a mathematical form of the HC model, and a model parameter is …

  7. The rheological complexity of waxy crude oils : yielding, thixotropy and shear heterogeneities

    … The three phenomena studied are, first: shear heterogeneities, i.e. the manifestation of wall slip, shear banding or other shear-localization events under imposed deformations that are assumed to be homogenous. For these purposes, flow visualization techniques capable of "Rheo-PIV" …
