In situ nanomechanical tests are carried out to investigate the tensile and compressive
behavior of〈 001〉-oriented body-centered cubic (bcc) metals W, Mo, Ta and Nb with …

In situ mechanical tests were carried out to measure the tensile behavior of single-crystalline
face-centered cubic (fcc) gold (Au) and body-centered cubic (bcc) molybdenum (Mo) nano …

A size effect study was conducted on [001] oriented vanadium nanopillars that were
synthesized from both a thin film and a bulk crystal. The results indicate that a size …

We report the deformation behavior of single crystalline molybdenum nanopillars in uniaxial
compression, which exhibits a strong size effect called the “smaller is stronger” …

For bulk face-centered cubic metals in conventional tests, the effects of sample shape on the
yield stress are negligibly small, and the strength dependence on temperature is very weak …

Recently, much work has focused on the size effect in face centered cubic (fcc) structures,
however few pillar studies have focused on body centered cubic (bcc) metals. This paper …

The size effect in body-centered cubic metals is comprehensively investigated through
micro/nano-compression tests performed on focused ion beam machined tungsten (W) …

Microcompression tests were performed on focused-ion-beam-machined micropillars of
several body-centered-cubic metals (W, Mo, Ta, and Nb) at room temperature. The …

The size-dependent strength of face-centered cubic (fcc) metals, as revealed by uniaxial
compression of nanopillars, suggests that plasticity is dislocation source-controlled, with …

Ductility is one of the most important mechanical properties for metallic structural materials. It
is measured as the elongation to failure of a sample during standard uniaxial tensile tests …
