This article focuses on the mechanisms and consequences of plastic strain localizations
exhibited in tensile stress–strain behaviors, fracture and fatigue. A broad overview is first …

We report the annealing time-dependent microstructures and deformation mechanisms of
the novel face-centered cubic Fe 49.5 Mn 30 Co 10 Cr 10 C 0.2 Ti 0.1 V 0.1 Mo 0.1 HEA …

The interaction between slip bands and grain boundaries in commercial-purity titanium was
examined using cross-correlation-based electron backscatter diffraction. At a low strain …

To ensure a more representative simulation of meso‑scale and macro-scale deformation, it
is important the underlying constitutive relations are advanced to more effectively …

Grain boundaries (GBs) have a significant influence on the mechanical properties of metallic
materials. It has been a great challenge to describe dislocation interactions with various …

We have examined the interaction of a blocked slip band and a grain boundary in deformed
titanium using high-resolution electron backscatter diffraction and atomic force microscopy …

How to suppress strain localization in tensioned nanograined layer and make it ductile? This
remains a great challenge. Here we explore the effects of microstructure inhomogeneity on …

Fatigue crack initiation in polycrystalline materials is dependent on the local microstructure
and the deformation mechanism, and can be attributed to various mechanistic and …

This chapter reports the formation of dispersive shear bands in a hetero-structured Cu
composed of coarse-grained (CG) and ultrafine-grained (UFG) zones. Microscale digital …

Face-centered cubic (FCC) high entropy alloy has attracted extensive attention because of
its excellent mechanical response, while its poor strength limits its application in practical …
