This book describes thermoelastic and inelastic deformation processes in crystalline solids
undergoing loading by shock compression. Constitutive models with a basis in geometrically …

This work develops a two-scales macro-micro approach to address the challenge in
calibrating crystal plasticity microstructural models when samples undergo necking prior to …

Dynamic fracture of metals is a fascinating multiphysics-multiscale problem that often results
in brittle and/or ductile fracture of structural components and under high strain rates may …

The grain boundary (GB) excess volume is an important structural factor that is strongly
correlated with various thermodynamic and kinetic properties of GBs such as GB energy, GB …

The mechanical behavior of Zr 55 Cu 30 Ag 15 bulk metallic glass (BMG) was investigated
via the free volume theory. Spherical and Berkovich nanoindentation tests were conducted …

Deformation localization as exemplified by earthquakes, landslides, shear banding in solids,
and failure of engineering components is of utmost importance. In practice, differentiating the …

The coupling effects of sample thickness and aspect ratio on the mechanical properties of
Cu 50 Zr 50 metallic glasses (MGs) under tensile loading are systematically investigated …

Nano-dual-phase glass-crystal (NDPGC) metallic materials as the novel nanostructured
materials have been proved experimentally to possess excellent mechanical properties, eg …

Based on the coupled thermo-mechanical model, a constitutive model for bulk metallic
glasses (BMGs), which considers the effects of free volume, temperature and hydrostatic …

A modified coupled thermo-mechanical 3D constitutive model for bulk metallic glasses
(BMGs), which integrates all the effects of free volume, temperature and hydrostatic stress on …
