Interesting to see another example of a European social science organization transitioning its journal to diamond open access: this time, its the European Sociology Association. In 2021, the European Association of Social Anthropologists flipped their flagship by becoming part of the Berghahn OpenAnthro collection.
Meanwhile, the American associations twiddle their thumbs, in the face of disgruntled members.

Discrete slip plane analysis of ferrite microtensile tests: On the influence of dislocation source distribution and non-Schmid effects on slip system activity
The slip system activity in microtensile tests of ferrite single crystals is compared with predictions made by the discrete slip plane model proposed by Wijnen et al. (International Journal of Solids and Structures 228, 111094, 2021). This is an extension of conventional crystal plasticity in which the stochastics and physics of dislocation sources are taken into account in a discrete slip band. This results in discrete slip traces and non-deterministic mechanical behavior, similar to what is o…
