Micromechanical modeling of material behavior has become an accepted approach to describe the macroscopic mechanical properties polycrystalline materials in a micro- structure-sensitive way. The microstructure is modeled by representative volume ele- ment (RVE), and anisotropic individual grains described crystal plasticity model. Such micromechanical models are subjected loads finite element (FE) simulation their obtained from homogenization procedure. However, such simulations with...
A fundamental prerequisite for the micromechanical simulation of fatigue is appropriate modelling effective cyclic properties considered material. Therefore, kinematic hardening formulations on slip system level are crucial importance due to their relevance in material modelling. The focus this study comparison three different models (Armstrong Frederick, Chaboche, and Ohno–Wang). In work, investigations performed prediction stress-strain behavior martensitic high-strength steel SAE 4150 two...
Hydrogen transport behaviour in metals is greatly influenced by the mechanical stress and underlying microstructural features. In this work, a micromechanical model based on coupled crystal plasticity hydrogen diffusion developed applied to storage polycrystalline microstructure. Particular emphasis laid influences transport, invoked internal stresses trapping of dislocations generated plastic strains.

Craniofacial microsomia (CFM) is a genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous disorder characterized by hypoplasia of facial tissue that often asymmetric. Affected tissues typically include the ears (external internal), mandible, maxilla, but various extracranial anomalies have also been reported. Loss-of-function variants in SF3B2 gene recently reported 8 cases CFM, representing one more common genetic causes identified to date. To better define full phenotypic spectrum associated with ,...
Abstract
Martensitic high-strength steels are prone to exhibit premature fatigue failure due crack nucleation at non-metallic inclusions and other microstructural defects. This study investigates the behavior of martensitic steel SAE 4150 different defects by means micromechanical simulations. Inclusion statistics based on experimental data serve as a reference for identification failure-relevant material interest. A comprehensive numerical design experiment was performed systematically assess...
Additive manufacturing (AM) has recently become one of the key processes in era Industry 4.0 because its highly flexible production scheme. Due to complex thermal cycles during process itself and special solidification conditions, microstructure AM components often exhibits elongated grains together with a pronounced texture. These microstructural features significantly contribute an anisotropic mechanical behavior. In this work, properties additively manufactured samples 316L stainless...
Micromechanical fatigue lifetime predictions, in particular for the high cycle regime, require an appropriate modelling of mean stress effects order to account reducing positive stresses.

In work, investigations are performed on and prediction crack initiation life martensitic high-strength steel SAE 4150 two First, multiple statistical...
In order to capture the stress-strain response of metallic materials under cyclic loading, it is necessary consider hardening behaviour in constitutive model.
