Accelerated discovery and development of high temperature structural alloys Michael S. Titus Assistant Professor of Materials Engineering Purdue University Researchers and engineers constantly seek out new materials systems that increase the operating temperatures of critical components in turbine engines, rocket

Abstract Metallic alloys are widely used in engineering and are in constant development to optimize their properties. Computational strategies to perform virtual design and testing of these materials would reduce the high time and costs associated nowadays to the development

Glissile junctions: Insights from discrete dislocation dynamics and development of a continuum model Markus Stricker Karlsruhe Institute of Technology The understanding of the mechanisms governing plastic deformation of metals is the understanding of dislocation motion from single dislocations to collective
