While bimetallic nanocomposites have demonstrated extraordinary–three to even ten-fold–
gains in strength with decreasing layer thickness, their strengths tend to plateau beyond a …

The nucleation of lattice dislocations and interface sliding at bimetal interfaces are two
fundamental mechanisms of plasticity that are responsible for the mechanical responses of …

We utilize elevated temperature physical vapor deposition (PVD) techniques to design
metal/MAX multilayered nanocomposite thin films with alternating nanoscale metallic (Nb …

Existing methods for disrupting shock waves employ low-density materials and
mesostructures, which occupy significant space, are difficult to fabricate, and are often …

In this work, we present a nanostructure-sensitive crystal plasticity model for the deformation
response of nanolaminate composites. The model is applied to investigate the strength of …

At ambient temperature, pressure, and sufficiently fine layer thicknesses, pure body-
centered cubic (bcc) Mg can exist as a pseudo-morphic phase when coherently bonded with …

By reducing the layer thickness, h, in metal multilayers from micrometer-to nanometer-levels,
scale-dependent transitions in behavior are observed. The role of interface properties in …

Co-Al based superalloys have been considered as the promising alternatives to Ni-Al based
superalloys. Appropriate alloy design can stabilize a dual phase structure of face-centered …

Nanolayered metallic composites have attracted intensive scientific interests due to their
ultrahigh strength. However, the deformation incompatibility among the component layers …

The mechanical response of macroscale metallic samples is typically determined using the
uniaxial tensile test, which provides a direct measure of critical properties such as Young's …
