The ability to map elastic or plastic strain on a microstructural level is critical to understanding and controlling deformation in structural alloys and ceramics. Electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) and related techniques, such as electron channeling patterns, have been used with some success to measure the plastic strain around cracks in Fe-3Si single crystals [1], Cu single crystals [...

We use a power expansion representation of plane-elasticity complex potentials due to Kolossov and Muskhelishvili to compute the elastic fields induced by a localized plastic deformation event. Far from its center, the dominant contributions correspond to first-order singularities of quadrupolar and dipolar symmetry which can be associated, respectively, with pure deviatoric and pure volumetric...

The current paper primarily aims to suggest a mathematical model for the shape-dependent term of Khan- Liu (KL) Yield/ fracture criterion as a function of Plastic Strain for DP590 steel alloy. The shape-dependent term in the mention criterion can generalize the application of this criterion in order to predict the behavior of other materials. Plane stress case and the first quarter of the stres...

The built up layer thickness in secondary deformation zone is one of the important parameters in metal cutting process. The built up layer (BUL) is formed in second deformation zone near the tool-chip interface in the back of the chip. This parameter influences the tool life and machined surface quality. This BUL should not be confused with the built up edge (BUE). The deformation of the BUL in...

Tensile and compression tests were carried out on a ductile cast iron for temperatures up to 1073 K. The damage caused inside and around graphite nodules was evaluated as a function of the local equivalent plastic strain by using microstructural quantifications. The mechanical properties are strongly dependent on a temperature above 773 K. Concerning tensile behavior, an evolutional law issued ...

A total knee replacement is one of the most successful orthopedic procedures to enable the patient’s return to a normal, active lifestyle. The angle of the mechanical axis depends on the surgeon’s decision, which effects the strain distribution on the femoral bone and may lead to a fracture of the femur . This study evaluated the equivalent total strain on the femoral shaft under daily activiti...
