Abstract Bulk nanostructured (ns)/ultrafine-grained (UFG) metallic materials possess very
high strength, making them attractive for high strength, lightweight and energy efficient …

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 …

Complex curvature and/or high-stiffened components are often in the elastic-plastic
deformation range during the loading stage of creep age forming (CAF) process. Effects of …

A physically based model to predict the increment of hardness and grain refinement of pure
metals due to severe plastic deformation by high-pressure torsion (HPT) is proposed. The …

In this contribution, the phenomenon of work hardening is studied as a function of the nature
of dislocation evolution with change in the level of deformation for commercially available …

This study examines the evolution of dislocation density in cold rolled 1050 Al alloy. Various
techniques such as numerical approaches, indentation techniques, X-ray diffraction line …

A novel and comprehensive approach addressing the stress strain response of binary Al-Mg
alloys under uniaxial loading over a wide range of temperatures (78 K–650 K), strain rates …

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have attracted extensive attention due to their excellent
mechanical properties. However, the Portevin–Le Chatelier (PLC) behavior of MMCs …

In order to clarify the occurrence of dynamic ferrite transformation in a 6Ni–0.1 C steel, the
stress–strain behavior in uniaxial compression was analyzed for a wide range of …

Lüders-type propagating deformation bands were observed in specimens of irradiated 316L
stainless steel samples removed from Spallation Neutron Source target vessels after …
