Twinning is a major mechanism of plastic deformation in hexagonal close-packed (hcp)
structures. However, a mechanistic understanding of twin nucleation and growth has yet to …

In response to temperature or pressure changes, many body-centered cubic (bcc) materials
undergo martensitic bcc-hcp phase transformation, which is known to produce rich …

This study utilized the molecular dynamics method to investigate the slip transfer behaviors
of edge and screw dislocations in magnesium at basal/prismatic grain boundaries (BPGBs) …

Abstract {10 1 ̄ 2} twinning occurs extensively in Mg to accommodate plastic deformation.
With multiple active twin variants, twin–twin interaction occurs and this often forms twin–twin …

By integrating atomistic simulations with theoretical calculations, we investigate the
prevalence of {112} deformation twins in bcc materials and their sensitivity to the loading …

In this paper, we perform concurrent atomistic–continuum (CAC) simulations to assess the
contribution of the internal stress induced by the microscale dislocation pileup at an …

We report the discovery of a non-conventional {11 2¯ 2} twinning mechanism in α-titanium
through reversible α→ ω→ α martensitic phase transformations. Specifically, the parent α …

ω-titanium (Ti) is a high-pressure phase that is conventionally perceived to be brittle and
nondeformable, although direct investigations of its deformation process remain scarce. In …
