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 …

This paper recounts recent advances on the atomistic modeling of twinning in body-centered
cubic (bcc) and face-centered cubic (fcc) alloy. Specifically, we have reviewed:(i) the …

Strain rate, temperature, and microstructure play a significant role in the mechanical
response of materials. Using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, we …

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

Deformation twinning in body-centered cubic (BCC) metals occurs by shearing the crystal
along {112} planes parallel to< 111> directions. One of these directions (twinning shear) …

It is generally recognized that single crystals exhibit orientation-dependent elastic and
plastic responses. However, it is less known how the dynamic tensile, or spall, strength …

The knowledge regarding anisotropic mechanical behaviors in nanoscale body-centered
cubic (bcc) metals remains obscure. Herein, we report the orientation-dependent ductility in …

Critical thickness of deformation twins in body centered cubic transition metals have been a
topic of debate with many computational and experimental studies accepting a three-layer …

In this work, the Quasi-particle Approach (QA) is applied to qualitatively reproduce the
underlying mechanisms of the displacive fcc (γ)→ bcc (α) transformation. At the …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to study the effects of the interface
imperfections and modulation periods (λ) on deformation mechanisms of Cu/Ta nanoscale …
