Micro channel features have been widely used in miniaturized products, such as micro
reactor, micro heat exchanger, micro fluidic chip. For example, the metallic bipolar plate …

Crystal structure determines the distinct deformation mode of crystalline materials and thus
plays a critical role in micro-scale deformation. The micro-deformation mechanism at grain …

Traditional metal forming theories are not accurate in the analysis of micro/meso scale metal
deformation behavior due to the so-called size effect. As the deformation process scales …

It is well known that the mechanical behavior of micro-particle-reinforced metal matrix
composites (MPMMCs) in service is significantly influenced by the particle size, matrix …

The in-service deformation damage cannot be avoided, even for micro-scale metallic
materials. To characterize the coupling effect of size and damage in micro-metallic materials …

To study the size effect on the properties of copper, tensile tests were performed with pure
copper foil (thickness range from 25 μm to 300 μm) by cold rolling. A pronounced size effect …

In order to characterize the deformation behavior accompanying damage of microstructures
in micro-scale metallic materials, a new theoretical model is developed based on a low …

Foil bending is one of the promising approaches to fabricating micro-bending parts.
However, it is difficult to bend pure titanium foils with high precision due to the double effect …

The constitutive models based on grain size effect are crucial for analyzing the deformation
of metal foils. Previous investigations on the constitutive models concentrate on the foils …

Transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) steel possesses high strength and formability,
enabling the use of a thinner gauge material and allowing for the fabrication of complex …
