Abstract: Abstract Experimental and computational studies have demonstrated that the structure of grain boundary networks (GBNs), e.g. the connectivity of certain types of grain boundaries (GBs), has a significant impact on macroscopic material properties. Because minor… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract The failure of micron-scale metallic components presents significant variability as a result of their size being comparable to microstructural length scales. Indeed, these components do not represent the bulk of the material but correspond… read more here.
