Ductile rupture in metals is a phenomenon that affects a wide range of applications from
forming of automotive body panels to failure of pressure vessels. The incipient stage …

Abstract High-entropy alloys (HEAs), also known as multi-principal element alloys or multi-
component alloys, have been the subject of numerous investigations since they were first …

As the numbers of medium-to high-entropy alloys being studied and impressive structural
properties they exhibit increase rapidly, questions regarding the role played by their …

In this paper, we systematically proposed the strategy of tailoring strain delocalization to
evade long-standing strength-ductility trade-off dilemma. The scientific contribution is to …

INTRODUCTION Gradient structures ubiquitously exist in natural materials such as bone,
shells, and trees. Microstructural gradients are increasingly being introduced into a wide …

Metals can be processed to reach ultra-high strength, but usually at a drastic loss of ductility.
Here, we review recent advances in overcoming this tradeoff, by purposely deploying …

Deformation twinning is an important plastic carrier competing with the ordinary dislocation
slip in a broad class of crystalline solids, which critically controls the mechanical properties …

Materials subjected to high dose irradiation by energetic particles often experience severe
damage in the form of drastic increase of defect density, and significant degradation of their …

Nanostructured materials contain an extremely high density of interfaces. The properties of
these materials when exposed to extreme conditions of radiation dose, stress, deformation …

Metallic wires with high strength-ductility at both room and cryogenic temperatures are
always pursued for engineering applications. However, traditional metallic wires are tortured …
