DEFORMATION AND FRACTURE OF CRYSTALLINE MATERIALS UNDER HIGH STRAIN RATE LOADING CONDITIONS

<p dir="ltr">High strain-rate loading of materials presents a persistent challenge due to the extremely short timescales involved and the complex, often nonlinear, material responses. During such loading, materials may undergo phenomena such as recrystallization, phase transformation, fracture, and other microstructural changes. In this work we study deformation and fracture of crystalline material under high strain-rate loading conditions using numerical simulations and data-driven models.</p>
