Engineering use of gamma titanium aluminides requires further development of design models of the material. Presently, modeling tools are limited by computational capability, uncertainty in experimental data, and physical accuracy. Lamellar Ti-Al alloys are plastically inhomogeneous and exhibit anisotropic flow. The origin of this behavior is that there are at least four different length scales in...
