The dynamical mechanical properties of Al nanopillars,< 1 µm in diameter and with aspect
ratios ranging from 2: 1–6: 1, have been evaluated in real-time by uniaxial compression …

During the transition from single crystalline to polycrystalline behavior, the available data
show the strength increasing or decreasing as the number of grains in a cross section is …

In order to clarify the size effect on the tensile creep properties of micrometer-sized single-
crystal Au at room temperature, we conducted long-term (up to 14 h) creep experiments for …

Hybrid laser welding has been increasingly used in joining aluminium alloys. Due to the
nature of hybrid laser welding, the welded joint made from Al alloys typically fractures in the …

Understanding and predicting deformation in ferritic steels with BCC structure under
irradiation is critically important as they are candidate cladding materials for Gen-IV nuclear …

Nanolaminate composite materials consist of alternating layers of materials at the nanoscale
(≤ 100 nm). Due to the nanometer scale thickness of their layers, these materials display …

The desire to improve the performance of engineering alloys and introduce new materials
into service has led to the development of advanced, multi-scale material property models …

The presence of residual stresses in engineering components may significantly affect
damage evolution and progression towards failure. Correct evaluation of residual stress is of …

Understanding the mechanical behavior of nanostructures is crucial for their use in
lightweight, strong, and multifunctional materials. Here, three different colloidal nanocrystals …

Dislocations are line defects in crystalline materials and act as microscopic carriers of plastic
deformation. Dislocation climb is the motion out of the slip plane with the assistance of …
