This paper reviewed the research progress of studies on the crystal rotation of single crystals
that were deformed by tension and shear and the influences of crystal rotation and …

The strength of a material is its ability to withstand an applied load without breaking or
changing its shape. The strength of an ideal, defect-free crystal can be very high, but except …

The deformation behavior of aluminum single crystals subjected to compression along the
[100] and [110] directions is numerically examined in terms of crystal plasticity. A constitutive …

Plastic flow in crystals is never quite uniform. Plastic strain gradients develop and internal
stresses build up as deformation progresses. In the last few years it has been suggested that …

Gradient structures have excellent mechanical properties, such as synergetic strength and
ductility. It is desirable to reveal the connection between the gradient structure and …

The effect of loading conditions on the tensile stress versus strain response of micron-sized
planar crystals with a single active slip system is investigated via finite and small …

After providing a rapid summary of some of the main results from a recently constructed
theory of structured solids in [1], attention is focussed on the characterization of dislocations …

The stress overshoot (or elastic overshoot) and its mechanism during the high-strain rate
deformation of metals are systematically and comprehensively investigated by crystal …

Publisher Summary In materials in which the dislocation motion is governed by dislocation–
dislocation interactions, dislocation patterning, and the accumulation of misorientation can …

Following the publication of several seminal studies, discrete dislocation dynamics has
become well-established as a means of analysing the response of ductile crystals and …
