Deformation twinning in body-centered cubic (BCC) metals occurs by shearing the crystal
along {112} planes parallel to< 111> directions. One of these directions (twinning shear) …

Deformation twinning is an important plastic carrier competing with the ordinary dislocation
slip in a broad class of crystalline solids, which critically controls the mechanical properties …

Based upon the recent observations that a slip dislocation in bcc metals is associated with
three twinning dislocations (Ogawa and Maddin 1964), the atomic configuration of the …

Deformation twinning in crystals is one of the major strain carrier during plastic deformation,
which plays a critical role in determining the mechanical properties of metals and alloys …

We calculate the material properties needed to evaluate the tendency of a face-centered-
cubic (fcc) metal to plastically deform by forming crystallographic twins as opposed to …

The reverse mode of face-centered cubic (fcc) deformation twinning is found to be
responsible for the formation of kink bands during compression of pre-twinned Cu–8.5 at …

We present ab initio density functional theory calculations of twinning energy pathways for
two opposite twinning modes,(111)[11 2] and (111)[1 1 2]⁠, in fcc materials to examine the …

Plasticity of body-centered cubic tantalum with preexisting dislocations is investigated under
[001] uniaxial compression/tension loading using a molecular dynamic simulation method …

In body-centered cubic (BCC) metals, plastic deformation usually takes place by deformation
twinning under high strain rate. Although numerous efforts have been conducted on …

Plastic deformation in cubic metals is relatively simple due to the high crystallographic
symmetry of the underlying structure. Typically, one unique slip mode can provide arbitrary …
