Body-centered cubic metals are of high technological interest: for example tungsten as
plasma facing component in future fusion reactors, molybdenum employed in aircraft parts …

In the area of mechanics of materials, the classic theories cannot describe the material
behaviour as the volume of deformation or sample size is small enough to be compared with …

The emergence of a substantial body of literature focusing on uniaxial compression
experiments of micro-and nano-sized single-crystalline cylindrical papers has …

Observing the physical effects of neutrons is logistically complicated due to their poor
displacement efficiency, which requires irradiation durations extending from months to years …

The universality class of the avalanche behavior in plastically deforming crystalline and
amorphous systems has been commonly discussed, despite the fact that the microscopic …

Multiscale dislocation dynamic simulations are systematically carried out to reveal the
dislocation mechanism controlling the confined plasticity in coated micropillar. It is found that …

The interface has been confirmed over the last decade as playing a key role for
nanomaterials, and has attracted widespread attention from research communities. It is not …

Advances in nano-scale mechanical testing have brought about progress in the
understanding of physical phenomena in materials and a measure of control in the …

In this paper, dislocation climb is incorporated in a two-dimensional discrete dislocation
dynamics model. Calculations are carried out for polycrystalline thin films, passivated on one …

With the increasing focus on developing environmentally benign electronic packages, lead-
free solder alloys have received a great deal of attention. Mishandling of packages, during …
