Preface: the physics of metal plasticity

T Khraishi, G Ayoub, S Mesarovic… - Journal of Materials …, 2024 - Springer
Plastic deformation in solids constitutes a multifaceted and intricate multiscale process that
remains, to a large extent, not fully understood. Especially, in metals, plasticity is inherently …

Photo-oxidation of semicrystalline polymers: Damage nucleation versus growth

KN Cundiff, Y Madi, AA Benzerga - Polymer, 2020 - Elsevier
The relative roles of damage nucleation and growth in the oxidative embrittlement of
polymers has been investigated in tension. Additive-free polyamide-6 was used, taking …

Mechanical behavior of polyamide-6 after combined photo-oxidative and hygrothermal aging

KN Cundiff, AK Rodriguez, AA Benzerga - Colloid and Polymer Science, 2024 - Springer
The effect of moisture on the photo-oxidative degradation of polyamide-6 (PA-6) was studied
by analyzing the mechanical response after two different accelerated aging procedures. In …
