Nanostructured materials contain an extremely high density of interfaces. The properties of
these materials when exposed to extreme conditions of radiation dose, stress, deformation …

This article reviews recent basic research on two classes of twins: growth twins and
deformation twins. We focus primarily on studies that aim to understand, via experiments …

Grain boundaries (GBs) play a crucial role in the mechanical behaviors of nanocrystalline
materials. The dynamics of GBs depend on a variety of intrinsic and extrinsic factors …

Two high manganese austenitic steels with different grain size were prepared to
comprehensively investigate size effect on twinning and resultant cryogenic impact …

The evolution of grain boundary (GB) networks in polycrystalline metals depends not only on
the movement of the constituent GBs but also on the migration of GB triple junctions (TJs) …

This article reviews the growing body of work over the past decade investigating the effect of
interface crystallographic character and resulting local interface structure on the mechanical …

Building engineers need access to real-time data to make retrofit decisions or improve the
energy performance of the building occupants. Such data is typically gathered with the help …

Deformation twinning in coarse-grained fcc metals results from the highly coordinated glide
of Shockley partial dislocations with the same Burgers vector on successive {111}-type …

In this paper, we discuss the formulation, recent developments and findings obtained from a
mesoscale mechanics technique called phase field dislocation dynamics (PFDD). We begin …

In this study, microstructural features direct metal laser melted (DMLM) aluminium–silicon-
magnesium (AlSi10Mg) are investigated using advanced transmission electron microscopy …
