Advanced manufacturing techniques like additive manufacturing (AM) have poised themselves to revolutionize metal manufacturing. A wide range of AM techniques are capable of manufacturing metal components with unique, complex geometries and hastening the scientific-engineering-de…
The implementation of new materials for light-weighting purposes in the automotive industry has often been hindered due to the low ductility of these materials, as well as inadequate empirical knowledge about their fracture behavior and inadequate material modeling techniques. T…
The evolution of materials at an atomistic level may have vital consequences for the properties of materials. Therefore, modelling long time scale behaviour of defects in a material is very important, particularly for those used in nuclear power plants. The materials used in nuc…
In nuclear environments, irradiation hardening and damage have a detrimental effect on materials performance. Among others, fracture toughness of austenitic stainless steels decreases under neutron irradiation. Helium arising from transmutation reactions is one source of embritt…
