Harvesting biobased epoxy resins with improved thermomechanical properties (eg, glass
transition temperature T g and storage modulus), mechanical and dielectric similar and even …

The objective of this study is to determine irradiation effects on the nanoindentation plastic
zone morphology in a model Fe–9% Cr ODS alloy. Specimens are irradiated to 50 …

Spherical nanoindentation combined with electron back-scattered diffraction has been
employed to characterize the grain-scale elastic and plastic anisotropy of single crystal …

Recent advances in spherical indentation stress-strain protocols and analyses have
demonstrated the capability for measuring reliably the local mechanical responses in …

We employed instrumented indentation technique to study the elastic and plastic
deformations in a face-centered cubic (fcc) high-entropy alloy NiFeCoCrMn. Single-crystal …

Indentation size effects have been observed in both polymers and metals but, unlike in
metals, the origin of size effects in polymers is not well understood. To clarify the role of …

In single-crystalline metals, the sources of size effects depend on the sample length scale. In
bulk samples, the interaction of dislocations with each other is responsible for size effects …

Using molecular-dynamics simulation, we study the scratching of Ti and Mg crystals by a
hard tip. Both the basal and a prismatic surface orientations are considered. We focus on the …

The present paper investigates the effects of grain boundary (GB) on the sources of size
effects. Up to now, several studies have been conducted to address the role of GBs in size …

A more comprehensive investigation of size effects is essential for the design and
optimization of micro-metal forming processes. In this work, the micro-tension of …
