The contribution presents an analysis of a rate-independent non-local damage model, recently proposed by (Mielke and Roubicek, 2006). An analytical as well as numerical solution of a simple one-dimensional bifurcation problem is performed, demonstrating that, for the elementary localization test, the model is free of pathological features.

Understanding defect production and evolution under irradiation is a long-standing multi-scale problem. Conventionally, experimental examination of irradiation-induced defects (IIDs) has mainly relied on transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which
offers high spatial resolution but requires destructive sample preparation. Furthermore, limited field of view and low strain sensitivity make multi-scale characterisation and quantitative strain measurements difficult. Here we explore the potential of using advanced techniques in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) to non-destructively probe irradiation damage at the surface of bulk materials. Electron channelling contrast imaging (ECCI) is used to image nano-scale irradiation-induced defects in 20 MeV self-ion irradiated tungsten, the main candidate material for fusion reactor armour. The results show an evolution of the damage microstructure from uniformly and randomly distributed nano-scale defects at 0.01 dpa (displacement per atom) to string structures extending over hundreds of nanometres at 1 dpa. Cross-correlation based high-resolution EBSD (HR-EBSD) is used to probe the lattice strain fields associated with IIDs. While there is little strain fluctuation at 0.01 dpa, significant heterogeneity in the lattice strains is observed at 0.1 dpa, increasing with dose until saturation at 0.32 dpa. The characteristic length scale of strain fluctuations is ~500 nm. Together, ECCI and HR-EBSD reveal a transition from a structure where defects are disordered to a structure with long-range order driven by elastic interactions between pre-existing defects and new cascade damage. This study demonstrates that SEM provides an attractive tool for rapid throughput, non-destructive, multi-scale and multi-aspect characterisation of irradiation damage.
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) provides uniform and conformal thin films that are of interest for a range of applications. To better understand the properties of amorphous ALD films, we need improved understanding of their local atomic structure. Prev
ious work demonstrated measurement of how the local atomic structure of ALD-grown aluminum oxide (AlOx) evolves in operando during growth by employing synchrotron high energy X-ray diffraction (HE-XRD). In this work, we report on efforts to employ electron diffraction pair distribution function (ePDF) measurements using more broadly available transmission electron microscope (TEM) instrumentation to study the atomic structure of amorphous ALD-AlOx. We observe electron beam damage in the ALD-coated samples during ePDF at ambient temperature and successfully mitigate this beam damage using ePDF at cryogenic temperatures (cryo-ePDF). We employ cryo-ePDF and Reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) modeling to obtain structural models of ALD-AlOx coatings formed at a range of deposition temperatures from 150-332{deg}C. From these model structures, we derive structural metrics including stoichiometry, pair distances, and coordination environments in the ALD-AlOx films as a function of deposition temperature. The structural variations we observe with growth temperature are consistent with temperature-dependent changes in the surface hydroxyl density on the growth surface. The sample preparation and cryo-ePDF procedures we report here can be used for routine measurement of ALD-grown amorphous thin films to improve our understanding of the atomic structure of these materials, establish structure-property relationships, and help accelerate the timescale for the application of ALD to address technological needs.
A new phenomenological technique for using constant amplitude loading data to predict fatigue life from a variable amplitude strain history is presented. A critical feature of this reversal-by-reversal model is that the damage accumulation is inheren
tly non-linear. The damage for a reversal in the variable amplitude loading history is predicted by approximating that the accumulated damage comes from a constant amplitude loading that has the strain range of the particular variable amplitude reversal. A key feature of this approach is that overloads at the beginning of the strain history have a more substantial impact on the total lifetime than overloads applied toward the end of the cycle life. This technique effectively incorporates the strain history in the damage prediction and has the advantage over other methods in that there are no fitting parameters that require substantial experimental data. The model presented here is validated using experimental variable amplitude fatigue data for three different metals.
An essential property of magnetic devices is the relaxation rate in magnetic switching which depends strongly on the damping in the magnetisation dynamics. It was recently measured that damping depends on the magnetic texture and, consequently, is a
non-local quantity. The damping enters the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation as the phenomenological Gilbert damping parameter $alpha$, that does not, in a straight forward formulation, account for non-locality. Efforts were spent recently to obtain Gilbert damping from first principles for magnons of wave vector $mathbf{q}$. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no report about real space non-local Gilbert damping $alpha_{ij}$. Here, a torque-torque correlation model based on a tight binding approach is applied to the bulk elemental itinerant magnets and it predicts significant off-site Gilbert damping contributions, that could be also negative. Supported by atomistic magnetisation dynamics simulations we reveal the importance of the non-local Gilbert damping in atomistic magnetisation dynamics. This study gives a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the magnetic moments and dissipation processes in real magnetic materials. Ways of manipulating non-local damping are explored, either by temperature, materials doping or strain.
Ductile fracture of metallic materials typically involves the elastoplastic deformation and associated damaging process. A nonlocal lattice particle method (LPM) is proposed to model this complex behavior. Recently, a distortional energy-based model
is formulated into LPM to simulate the mixed linear hardening J2 plasticity. However, this model is based on the incremental updating algorithm which needs very small loading steps to get reasonable results. This is time-consuming and unstable for large systems. Therefore, in this paper, a stress-based return-mapping algorithm for simulating J2 plasticity is proposed to deal with these deficiencies. The material deterioration process is reformulated as a nonlocal damage evolution process. By incorporating the iterative solution procedure with dense-packing lattices, the damage-enhanced LPM framework is able to effectively reduce the lattice-dependency of crack grow analysis. The particle-size dependency of macroscopic mechanical responses is also handled properly by using the proposed nonlocal damage model. Several numerical examples are provided to show the ability of the new LPM framework to predict the elastoplastic behavior of engineering structures with/without damage and fracture.
