The strain rate (ε˙) and temperature (T) dependent mechanical response of single crystal
magnesium (Mg) micropillars compressed along the [2¯ 110] direction (a-axis) is …

Single-crystal magnesium micropillars (5 µm diameter) have been fabricated using focused
ion beam (FIB) milling and loaded in compression along the [2 1¯ 1¯ 0] direction at …

Here, we report a comprehensive study that combines in situ scanning electron microscopy
experiments and atomistic simulations to quantify the effect of crystal size on the …

Uniaxial compression experiments were conducted on two magnesium (Mg) single crystals
whose crystallographic orientations facilitate the deformation either by basal slip or by …

Abstract Basal slip and {01 1¯ 2} twinning are two major plastic deformation mechanisms in
hexagonal closed-packed magnesium. Here we quantify the critical stresses associated with …

Here, an experimental study utilizing in-situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micro-
compression testing and post-mortem transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging is …

Experimental evidence suggests that the formation of compressive twin bands and the
associated strain localization is a key driver behind the low ductility of magnesium (Mg) at …

We present a single crystal plasticity model for pure Mg incorporating slip and deformation
twinning. The model uses the basic framework of Kalidindi (1998), but proposes constitutive …

To investigate the mechanism of {10 1¯ 2} twinning in magnesium (Mg) single crystal and its
influence on mechanical size effects and strain rate dependent deformation behavior, in-situ …

Résumé A combined experimental and computational investigation of the deformation
behavior of pure magnesium single crystal at the micron length scale has been carried out …
