Over the last three decades, a number of researchers have used the gradient-enhanced
plasticity theory to model the microstructural material behavior, which is not able to be …

Abstract Miniaturized Tensile Test (MTT), as an important type of Small Specimen Test
Technology (SSTT), has gained increasing attentions in the nuclear industry and other …

A class of phenomenological strain gradient plasticity theories is formulated to
accommodate more than one material length parameter. The objective is a generalization of …

This work aims to evaluate the use of miniaturized tensile specimen (MTS) to characterise
the mechanical properties of alloys developed through rapid alloy prototyping (RAP), where …

This paper is concerned with the mechanics of lateral indentation of a rigid sphere into a
thin, ductile metal plate. The paper presents a study including experiments, analytical …

This paper addresses the extension of a Eulerian logarithmic finite strain hyperelasto-
plasticity model in order to incorporate an isotropic plastic damage variable that leads to …

Specimens with a rectangular cross-section are commonly used to measure the tensile
properties of materials. However, the specimen size may influence the results. In this study …

One of the most important failure modes of thin-walled structures is fracture. Fracture is
predominantly tensile in nature and, in most part, is operated by the physical mechanisms of …

Additive manufacturing has been established as a process to produce structural and load-
bearing parts, and this process has become attractive to many industries such as medical …

Localization of plastic strain, also known as necking, is an important failure mechanism of
metals. Although metals are widely used in engineering, it remains unclear how the necking …
