Void Nucleation and Growth from Heterophases and the Exploitation of New Toughening Mechanisms in Metals
Heterophases, such as precipitates, inclusions, second phases, or reinforcement particles, often drive void nucleation due to local incompatibilities in stresses/strains. This results in a significant life-limiting condition, as voids or their coalescence can lead to microcracks that reduce the duct...
