Severe plastic deformation (SPD) has established itself as a potent means of producing bulk
ultrafine grained and nanostructured materials. It has given rise to burgeoning research that …

Featured Application The proposed research is applicable to advanced laboratory
mechanical testing in academic or research settings, and it is supposed be applied to the …

In the present work, we revisited the classical topic of elastic energy storage during strain
hardening of metals from a perspective of the analytically tractable thermodynamic …

The notions of plastic flow localization are outlined in the paper. It is shown that each type of
localized plasticity pattern corresponds to a definite stage of deformation hardening. In the …

The energy dissipation and storage during strain hardening of metals have been
investigated by means of complementary in situ techniques-infrared thermography (IRT) …

In this study, manifold experiments were conducted to investigate the thermomechanical
behavior of short E-glass fiber-reinforced polyamide 6.6 composites subjected to low cycle …

An aluminum matrix composite (AMC) containing~ 5% TiB 2/TiC particles is processed by
high-pressure torsion. The microstructures and mechanical properties of the composites are …

Autowave Plasticity: Localization and Collective Modes discusses the nature of plastic flow
in solids associated with the development of a localized plastic flow. Written by an authority …

Tensile tests on three high-strength steels exhibiting Lüders band propagation are carried
out at room temperature and under quasi-static loading conditions. Displacement and …

The paper concerns the experimental analysis of the energy conversion process during
uniaxial tension of 310S austenitic steel. The plastic work distributions were obtained taking …
