Deformation twinning is an important plastic carrier competing with the ordinary dislocation
slip in a broad class of crystalline solids, which critically controls the mechanical properties …

Abstract We present Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics (NEMD) simulations of shock
wave compression along the [001] direction in monocrystalline Tantalum, including pre …

Abstract The interaction between {112}< 111> deformation twinning and grain boundary in
coaxial polycrystalline tantalum under shock compression was studied with molecular …

Superelasticity of NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) with complex microstructures is
investigated at the atomistic scale based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Six …

Body-centred cubic (BCC) metals possess unstable intrinsic stacking fault and high
resistance for deformation twinning, which often induce complex twinning dynamics that …

Polycrystalline Mo has excellent application prospects in micro-nano devices, and its
mechanical properties play an essential role in the application. A series of molecular …

With the ongoing trend of miniaturizing electronic devices, the dimensions of metallic
materials used in these devices decrease continuously from sub-microns to a few …

Understanding the effect of grain boundaries (GBs) on the deformation and spall behavior is
critical to designing materials with tailored failure responses under dynamic loading. This …

Three beta titanium alloys in the Ti-Al-Mo-Cr-V system have been designed using the d-
