The conventional micromechanical approaches today are still not able to properly predict the ductile-to-brittle transition (DBT) of steels because of their inability to consider the co-operating ductile fracture and cleavage mechanisms in the transition region, and simultaneously to incorporate the...

Powder-bed fusion additive manufacturing technology makes it possible to produce parts with complicated geometry and high accuracy. However, dimensional deviation caused by powder overmelting and dross formation is still a challenge for manufacturing thin channels. In this study, we analyzed the...

Deposition patterns can significantly affect residual stress distribution in additive manufacturing processes. In this paper, a novel deposition pattern, the S-pattern, is proposed for the additive manufacturing process. The finite element method is used to study the temperature and stress field of...

The effect of residual stress on fracture of materials or structures has been widely studied. However, its influence on ductile-to-brittle transition (DBT), a crucial phenomenon of structural materials, has rarely been investigated so far. In the present study, employing the eigenstrain method...
