Crystallization by particle attachment (CPA) is a gradual process where each step has its own thermodynamic and kinetic constrains defining unique pathway of crystal growth. An important example biomineralization calcium carbonate through amorphous precursors that are morphed into shapes textural patterns cannot be envisioned the classical monomer-by-monomer approach. Here, mechanistic link bet...

Sheet specimens of aluminum alloy 5754 were deformed along a series of bi-linear, equal-biaxial and uniaxial, strain paths while simultaneously measuring stress–strain behavior. The Visco-Plastic Self-Consistent crystal plasticity model, which incorporates texture evolution, was used to simulate the flow stress and hardening behavior based in part on the measured crystallographic texture before...
