Beyond hardness and elastic modulus: Alternative uses of nanoindentation Dr. Paul Baral (UC Louvain) (Nano)indentation has been investigated for more than 50 years to the extent that a tremendous amount of work has been dedicated to quantitatively extract the mechanical properties of small mater...

A new publication entitled “Understanding creep of a single-crystalline Co-Al-W-Ta superalloy by studying the deformation mechanism, segregation tendency and stacking fault energy” was recently published in Acta Materialia. This nice collaboration of various project partners of the SFB/TR103 and the...

Towards precipitate mechanism informed design of processing methods in nickel-based superalloys Dr. David Collins School of Metallurgy and Materials, University of Birmingham, UK It is well known that single crystal and powder-based polycrystalline nickel-base superalloys inherit microstructu...

The colloquium aims to provide a platform to discuss recent advances in computational modeling of fracture at various length and time scales. The event will take place from April 22 to July 22, 2021, and will comprise a series of weekly invited talks by international experts tackling the aforemen...
