This review summarizes recent advances in the area of tribology based on the outcome of a
Lorentz Center workshop surveying various physical, chemical and mechanical phenomena …

Dislocation glide is a general deformation mode, governing the strength of metals. Via
discrete dislocation dynamics and molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the strain …

As a most widely applied structure material, the deformed characteristics of steels primarily
presented the adiabatic shear band (ASB) formation and phase transitions, instead of its …

We present molecular dynamics simulations of shock compression and spall fracture in [111]
copper single crystals with pre-existing dislocations. Shock waves are simulated for an …

We develop the theory of homogeneous nucleation of dislocations, which predicts plasticity
incipience in FCC single crystal using material properties at elastic stage. In contrast to …

The response of single crystals to increasing shock strength involves complex phase
transition processes from solid-solid to solid-liquid phases. However, it is not yet fully …

Size Effects in Plasticity: From Macro to Nano provides concise explanations of all available
methods in this area, from atomistic simulation, to non-local continuum models to capture …

In this paper, the interaction between an edge dislocation and irradiation< 100> sessile self-
interstitial atom (SIA) type dislocation loops (DLs) is studied by atomistic simulations in BCC …

The mobility of edge dislocation in Cu–Ni solid solution alloys within a wide range of
temperatures 100–1100 K and Ni concentrations 0–30 at.% is studied by molecular …

This article offers a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of the causes of
thermal hardening in FCC Al and BCC Fe at high strain rates, with the aim to shed light on …
