Xiang Zhang and Rudraprasad Bhattacharrya presented their research at EMI 2017 Conference in San Diego
Jun. 7, 2017—The title of the Xiang’s first presentation was: “Microscale modeling of creep deformation and rupture using cohesive zone-crystal plasticity finite element analysis”. Abstract: Nickel-based alloys are widely used as structural materials for high temperature applications due to their exceptional combination of high temperature strength and creep resistance. Inconel 617, a solid-solution strengthened Nickel-based alloy, is...
