Understanding the inter-zone interaction-dependent mechanical behavior of constituent
zones in heterostructured material is fundamental but challenging. Here we report …

A laminate structure with a nanostructured Cu–10Zn layer sandwiched between two coarse-
grained Cu layers was produced by high-pressure torsion, rolling and annealing. Sharp …

Nanolayered metallic composites are much stronger than pure nanocrystalline metals due to
their high density of hetero-interfaces. However, they are usually mechanically instable due …

The effect of back stress on the mechanical behaviors of heterogeneous material is studied
in two modeled heterogeneous laminates, ie laminated structure with a nanostructured (NS) …

Disentangling the intragranular and interfacial plasticity contribution to the overall strain
