Here, we report a comprehensive study that combines in situ scanning electron microscopy
experiments and atomistic simulations to quantify the effect of crystal size on the …

Experimental evidence suggests that the formation of compressive twin bands and the
associated strain localization is a key driver behind the low ductility of magnesium (Mg) at …

We present a single crystal plasticity model for pure Mg incorporating slip and deformation
twinning. The model uses the basic framework of Kalidindi (1998), but proposes constitutive …

Here, an experimental study utilizing in-situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micro-
compression testing and post-mortem transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging is …

This work discusses coarse-grained micromechanics of tensile twinning in magnesium (Mg)
extracted from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We perform MD simulations on Mg …

The abrupt occurrence of twinning when Mg is deformed leads to a highly anisotropic
response, making it too unreliable for structural use and too unpredictable for observation …

Slip and extension twinning are the dominant deformation mechanisms in Magnesium (Mg)
and its alloys. Crystal plasticity is a powerful tool to study these deformation mechanisms …

Abstract The dynamics of {1 0 1‾ 2}< 1 0 1‾ 1> extension twins in a single crystal of pure
magnesium are studied through uniaxial compression experiments coupled with direct …

Poor ductility heavily limits the industrial application of magnesium (Mg) alloys, and
pyramidal dislocations are an important deformation mode for ductility enhancement. In this …

Abstract Basal slip and {01 1¯ 2} twinning are two major plastic deformation mechanisms in
hexagonal closed-packed magnesium. Here we quantify the critical stresses associated with …
