A polycrystal plasticity model based on the mechanical threshold

TL;DR: In this article, a temperature and rate-dependent viscoplastic polycrystal model is presented, which uses a single crystal constitutive response that is based on the isotropic Mechanical Threshold Stress continuum model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial coupling in jerky flow using polycrystal plasticity

TL;DR: In this paper, a multiscale approach including a finite element framework for polycrystal plasticity is used to model jerky flow, also known as the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a convex polyhedral discrete element simulation framework for NVIDIA Kepler based GPUs

TL;DR: A novel DEM based particle simulation code (BLAZE-DEM) that is capable of simulating millions of particles on a desktop computer utilizing a NVIDIA Kepler Graphical Processor Unit (GPU) via the CUDA programming model is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparative assessment of the uncertainties of global surface ocean CO 2 estimates using a machine-learning ensemble (CSIR-ML6 version 2019a) – have we hit the wall?

TL;DR: In this paper, an ensemble average of six machine learning models (CSIR-ML6 version 2019a, Council for Scientific and Industrial Research -Machine Learning ensemble with Six members) is proposed to fill the gaps in sparse surface ocean CO2 measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of linear and classical velocity update rules in particle swarm optimization : Notes on diversity

TL;DR: The significance of diversity in the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is investigated and two different implementations of the PSO are studied, being the so‐called linear and classical PSO formulations.
