Designing structural materials for tailored response at extreme conditions is a grand
challenge in materials research. Such materials can be made using either “top-down” or …

There is an ever-increasing need for material systems to operate in the most extreme
environments encountered in space exploration, energy production, and propulsion …

We review microstructures and properties of metal matrix composites produced by severe
plastic deformation of multiphase alloys. Typical processings are wire drawing, ball milling …

Recent work indicates that materials with nanoscale architectures, such as nanolayered Cu-
Nb composites and nanoscale oxide dispersion-strengthened steels, are both thermally …

The response of four cubic metals to shock loading is reviewed in order to understand the
effects of microstructure on continuum response. Experiments are described that link defect …

The high precision offered by small-scale mechanical testing has allowed the relationships
between mechanical behavior and specific microstructural features to be determined to an …

One of the biggest challenges in the radiation induced defect science is to understand the
complex nature of ion-atom interactions under highly extreme conditions. Here, we report …

In the pages of this present monograph readers will find virtually everything they need to
know about the latest advanced materials. The authors have covered almost every angle …

As the shift from the Metal Age progresses, materials engineers and materials scientists
seek new analytical and design methods to create stronger and more reliable materials …

Designing a material from the atomic level to achieve a tailored response in extreme
conditions is a grand challenge in materials research. Nanostructured metals and …
