Engineering strong and ductile structural materials has been an enduring pursuit over the
past few decades. Here we proposed a heterogeneous laminated/gradient integrated …

A non-local method for the establishment of geometrically necessary dislocation (GND)
based on a non-local domain integral has been developed and incorporated into crystal …

The influence range of crack interaction is studied using the distribution dislocation
technique, and is defined as the influenced zone. For elastic materials with cracks, the …

Shear loading is induced on the surfaces of a crack that is aligned at an arbitrary angle in
relation to the direction of compressive loading. Contact faces may experience relative slip if …

The fracture evolution and damage mechanism of an engineering candidate, CrFeNi
medium-entropy alloy (MEA), which exhibits superior tensile properties with the ultimate …

This study is an extension of previously developed models of plasticity occurring in the
vicinity of​​ a longitudinal crack in a thin elastic-plastic layer sandwiched between two …

Shear bands are closely linked with the plasticity and fracture behaviors of metallic glasses
(MGs). This work proposes a new idea to predict shear bands by continuously distributed …

Designing gradient structures effectively regulates material properties, achieving an optimal
balance between strength and toughness, and enhancing material safety in service …

MWCNTs reinforced silicone coatings were prepared by mechanically mixing hydroxyl-
capped polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes/N, N …

The crack growth behavior is influenced greatly by the crack-tip plasticity. Most of the
existing two-dimensional (2D) theoretical models of crack-tip plasticity are appropriate only …
