Consider two adjacent planes where positive and negative dislocations are accumulated by
a ratcheting mechanism. The dislocation dipoles are increased by each cycle of loading …

Magnetostrictive materials such as FeCo are attractive for applications as embedded thin-
film sensors for detecting strains or cracks in structural components. For these applications …

Thin-film interconnects subjected to combined thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) and
corrosion are considered. Thin-films are composed of polycrystalline materials, and grain …

This book describes fruitful past collaborations between the mathematical and materials
sciences and indicates future challenges. It seeks both to encourage mathematical sciences …

Nanomechanical response of indented aluminum/titanium (Al/Ti) multilayered films were
characterized using an Auger electron spectrometer, focused ion beam (FIB) machining, and …

During cyclic deformation of polycrystalline materials, as substantiated by many
experimental observations, due to existence of high stress concentration at the interfaces the …

Abstract The durability of Fe-Co thin films bonded on Ti-6Al-4V was studied as a function of
layer thickness at ambient temperature. Interface toughness of the thin films was …

Micromechanical behavior of near surface defects in a semi-infinite crystal lattice is
investigated using a modified lattice theory, which was developed by extending the …

Solid state devices are being increasingly produced for automobiles, both as sensors and
actuators. They have been introduced, for example, in fuel injection devices, in exhaust pipe …
