Twinning in hexagonal materials: application to zirconium and magnesium

The main objective of this thesis is to investigate and quantify the influence of parent-twin and twin-twin interactions on the mechanical response of hexagonal close-packed metals. To study parent-twin interactions, a mean-field continuum mechanics approach has been developed based on a new twinnin...
