Abstract
The motivation of this work is the modeling of the hardening precipitate and hardness evolutions of fully hardened heat treatable aluminium alloys during friction stir welding (FSW) and/or heat treatment processes. The model used is based on the kinetics of dissolution of precipitates [...]Abstract
In polycrystalline alloys, fatigue damage is strongly influenced by the microstructure. Nowadays crystal plasticity models are used in order to take into account the crystallography and microstructural mechanisms but there is no consensus on crack initiation sites and their most [...]
Abstract
In the present research work, a theoretical approach to evaluate the ultimate resistance of aluminium alloy members subjected to local buckling under uniform compression is provided.
