Severe plastic deformation (SPD) with deformation strain significantly larger than one is
effective to strengthen metals and alloys. However, such a method will not work for Mg alloys …

The dominant active slip systems during plastic deformation of an extruded Mg-4.5 Zn (wt.%)
alloy with and without β 1′ precipitates were investigated by means of advanced electron …

In this study, we identified a specific phenomenon of coordinated deformation of twins in
near-α titanium alloys during dwell fatigue (DF). The main crack source regions and internal …

Twin interface characteristics play a crucial role in elucidating twin propagation, twin-twin
and twin-dislocation interactions, and then affect their mechanical properties. Herein …

Light-weight Mg alloys with higher strength are especially desirable for the applications in
transportation, aerospace, electronic components and implants owing to their high stiffness …

While the three-dimensional (3D) shape and stress field of a twin in hexagonal close-packed
(HCP) metals have attracted considerable interest in recent years due to their substantial …

The mechanical response of {1 2¯ 11} and {1 2¯ 12} coherency twin boundaries (CTB)
under external loading was investigated with molecular dynamics simulations in titanium …

Twining play an important role in adjusting the mechanical properties and microstructure in
magnesium alloys. In this paper, molecular dynamics simulation was used to study the …

Abstract The {11 2¯ 1} twinning and {11 2¯ 2}-{11 2¯ 1} double twinning mechanisms in
pure Ti are systematically investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. MD …

Strongly interacting interfaces with other constituents in materials lead to outstanding
performance beyond their inherent properties. It is closely related with the interfacial …
