Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is effective in producing bulk ultrafine-grained and
nanostructured materials with large densities of lattice defects. This field, also known as …

The change in the trends of mechanical behavior and martensite formation of austenitic
steels versus grain size has not yet been explained for the coarse-grained regime …

Nano-multilayered films offer a multilayer structure arrangement at several to tens of
nanometers. They have hardness, high-temperature oxidation resistance, and low wear …

A non-isothermal and crystal plasticity based phase field model was established by
incorporating various inelastic deformation mechanisms, ie, martensite transformation …

The introduction of gradient structure has been recently reported as a practical way to tailor
the mechanical behavior of NiTi alloy while improving its elastocaloric effect simultaneously …

Toughness of ceramic coatings is essential for engineering deploys of light alloys, especially
for the scenarios tackling with corrosion and wear. This work reports a toughened ZrO …

The interaction phenomenon between a propagating crack impinging an interface is studied
with a phase-field approach in combination with a cohesive surface model. The phase-field …

Severe plastic deformations (SPD) under high pressure, mostly by high-pressure torsion, are
employed for producing nanostructured materials and stable or metastable high-pressure …

The complex interplay between chemistry, microstructure, and behavior of many
engineering materials has been investigated predominantly by experimental methods …

The 'pseudoplastic'deformation and failure of the carbon/carbon composites (C/Cs) are
strain-rate-sensitive while the mechanism has not yet been properly elaborated. To delve …
