It has been well documented that plastic deformation of crystalline and amorphous
metals/alloys shows a general trend of “smaller is stronger”. The majority of the experimental …

Owing to the partial dislocation assisted twinning and/or displacive transformation upon
stress loading, metastable high-entropy alloys (HEAs) and their interstitial variants have …

The plastic deformation behavior of commercially pure Ti single crystals has been
investigated by uniaxial micropillar compression tests as a function of crystal orientation and …

To understand the underlying mechanisms that control the mechanical properties of
nanostructured metals, an insight into the role of the grain boundary in dislocation-driven …

Deformation twinning is an essential plastic deformation mechanism that realizes the trade–
off between strength and ductility. Twins nucleate and grow by the coordinated slip of partial …

This article presents a comprehensive study concerning size and geometry effect on the
ambient and high-temperature mechanical behavior of additively manufactured laser …

A new nonlocal crystal plasticity model is developed to study the mechanical behavior of
face-centered cubic single crystals under heterogeneous inelastic deformation through a …

The extreme miniaturization in modern technology calls for deeper insights into the non-
conventional, fluctuation dominated mechanics of materials operating at microscale. For …

Although presenting attractive features in dealing with small-scale size effects, strain
gradient plasticity (SGP) theories can lead to uncommon phenomena for some boundary …

A mesoscale dislocation dynamics model which couples three-dimensional dislocation
dynamics (DD), and finite element method (FEM) was used to investigate the mechanical …
