Ferroelastic switching in yttria stabilized zirconia: A molecular dynamics study

I am happy to share our newest open access article which is published in Computational Materials Science. For the first time, we were able to create the t’ phase of yttria stabilized zirconia from its cubic phase through the process of rapid quenching by utilizing molecular dynamics simulations. The simulation of quenching process followed the experimental procedure, and the results of virtual XRD and RDF were comparable to the actual experiments, verifying the created phases.

Lessons Learned from 14 years as an Editor-In-Chief (for Elsevier)

As some of you may know, I recently announced that I would be stepping down as the Editor-In-Chief (EIC) for the Elsevier journal titled Finite Elements in Analysis and Design (FINEL).  I had served in that capacity since 2010, so roughly 14 years, and the team at Elsevier indicated that it was time for someone new to take over the role.  Although I would have been more than happy to stay on, in time I did appreciate that it was probably better for the community to pass the reins on to someone else.

Clarifying the non-uniqueness in Polarization

For ionic and dielectric materials, the polarization (dipole moment per unit cell) is plagued with non-uniqueness. As a 1D example, consider a 1D line of alternating positive and negative charges. If we agree that the dipole is a vector from the negative to the positive charge, then we have two choices for the dipole. This is because every negative charge has two different positive charges in its immediate vicinity. The situation gets more complicated in higher dimensions.

Length scale insensitive phase-field fracture methodology for brittle and ductile materials

Dear colleagues, I would like to share our new article (open access) that presents length scale insensitive phase-field fracture models for brittle and ductile fracture to address the deficiencies of the widely implemented models which over-estimate crack dissipation.

Cancelling the effect of sharp notches or cracks with graded elastic modulus materials

Dear colleague

   I wonder if you could be interested in this idea of "Cancelling the effect of sharp notches or cracks with graded elastic modulus materials", particularly if you know who could help doing some experiments. Thanks for any comment, since this is a preprint it would be useful to discuss to make improvements.    RegardsMike    Cancelling the effect of sharp notches or cracks with graded elastic modulus materials
