High-entropy alloys (HEAs) usually exhibit exceptional mechanical properties attributed to
one of important core effects for serious lattice strain to impede dislocation motion compared …

While multiple plastic deformation mechanisms at room temperature in the CrMnFeCoNi
high-entropy alloy (HEA) have been revealed experimentally, the qualitative and/or …

This research article explores the effect of grain boundary (GB) misorientation on the
mechanical behavior of aluminum (Al) bicrystals by means of molecular dynamics (MD) …

It is well demonstrated that the complex chemical fluctuations on high/medium-entropy
alloys (H/MEAs) play critical roles in their deformation process, but there are few reports …

Accurately assessing fatigue crack growth resistance of structural materials is critical for
service safety. We developed a theoretical model to describe the fatigue crack growth rate …

Free surfaces have significant effects on plastic deformation and fracture of nanocrystalline
materials (NMs), especially for nano-or micro-scale specimens. To reveal the influence …

The study on the interaction between defects and dislocation emission is of significance to
predict the behaviors of fracture and plastic deformation in crystalline metals; however, the …

Shear bands are closely linked with the plasticity and fracture behaviors of metallic glasses
(MGs). This work proposes a new idea to predict shear bands by continuously distributed …

Triple junctions play important role in the deformation and fracture of polycrystalline metals.
Due to the difference in the crystalline orientations of the composing grains, high stress …

For welded structures of precipitation-strengthened aluminum alloys, achieving sound joint
with good fatigue property is not an easy task, especially for thick plates. In the present work …
