The mechanical behavior of nanolaminates is dominated by interfaces that act as sources,
barriers, and preferred sites for storage and dynamic recovery of glide dislocations. In this …

The appeal of nanolayered materials from a mechanical viewpoint is that, in principle, plastic
deformation can be confined to small volumes of material by Controlling both the frequency …

Metallic nanolaminate composites synthesized via physical vapor deposition possess ultra-
high strengths, often within a factor of two to three of the theoretical strength limit, when the …

The flow stress, ductility, and in-plane anisotropy are evaluated for bulk accumulative roll
bonded copper-niobium nanolaminates with layer thicknesses ranging from 1.8 μm to 15 …

Nanolaminates are composed of nanoscale-thick alternating layers of different materials and
their properties are dependent on the individual layers, the layer thickness and the …

The utility of microlaminates in engineering applications depends ultimately on their strength
and toughness. While the properties of monolithic films and coatings can be controlled …

Two-phase nanolaminates are known for their high strength, yet they suffer from loss of
ductility. Here, we show that broadening heterophase interfaces into “3D interfaces” as thick …

Plastic Deformation of Nanostructured Materials offers comprehensive analysis on the most
important data and results in the field of materials strength and mechanics. This reference …

Atomically ordered bimetal interfaces typically develop in near-equilibrium epitaxial growth
(bottom-up processing) of nanolayered composite films and have been considered …

In this paper, the mechanical properties of nanostructured materials, defined hereafter as
having a mean grain size that falls in the 50-200 nm ranges, is reviewed and the underlying …
