Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Modeling and simulation to predict the behavior of metallic materials play a central role in fast and cost-effective development of materials. Behind these means to predict the behavior of the materials are constitutive models. In particular, constitutive models that describe the mechanical responses of metallic structural materials, involving deformation and plasticity, have been the subject of intense research due to wide ranging engineering applications, such as in automotive, aerospace, military, and energy industries. Moreover, with the recent surge of interest in artificial intelligence, there has been significant progress in methods of enhancing the performance of constitutive models by identifying and calibrating constitutive model parameters, as well as quantifying and handling uncertainties, in constitutive models.

In this Special Issue, we invite a wide range of articles that relate to constitutive models. We welcome reviews and articles that focus on novel constitutive models, applications of existing constitutive models, and methods that enhance the performance of constitutive models.

Abstract
The deformation of plastics during production and service means that retired parts often possess different mechanical states, and this can directly affect not only the properties of remanufactured mechanical parts, but also the design of the remanufacturing process itself.

The deformation of plastics during production and service means that retired parts often possess different mechanical states, and this can directly affect not only the properties of remanufactured mechanical parts, but also the design of the remanufacturing process itself. In this paper, we describe the stress-strain relationship for remanufacturing, in particular the cyclic deformation of parts, by using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) method to acquire the Yoshida-Uemori (Y-U) hardening model parameters. To achieve this, tension-compression experimental data of AA7075-O, standard PSO, oscillating second-order PSO (OS-PSO) and variable weight PSO (VW-PSO) were acquired separately. The influence of particle numbers on the inverse analysis efficiency was studied based on standard PSO. Comparing the results of PSO variations showed that: (1) standard PSO is able to avoid local solutions and obtain Y-U model parameters to the same degree of precision as the OS-PSO; (2) by adjusting section weight, the VW-PSO could improve local fitting accuracy and adapt to asymmetric deformation; (3) by reducing particle numbers to a certain extent, the efficiency of analysis can be improved while also maintaining accuracy.

Metallic materials produce various structural defects in the radiation environment, resulting in serious degradation of material properties. An important way to improve the radiation-resistant ability of materials is to give the microstructure of materials a self-healing ability, to eliminate the structural defects. The research and development of new radiation-resistant materials with excellent self-healing ability, based on defects control, is one of the hot topics in materials science. Compared with conventional coarse-grained materials, nanocrystalline metals with a high density of grain boundary (GB) show a higher ability to resist radiation damage. However, the mechanism of GB’s absorption of structural defects under radiation is still unclear, and how to take advantage of the GB properties to improve the radiation resistance of metallic materials remains to be further investigated. In recent decades, atomistic simulation has been widely used to study the radiation responses of different metals and their underlying mechanisms. This paper briefly reviews the progress in studying radiation resistance mechanisms of nanocrystalline metals by employing computational simulation at the atomic scale. Full article
