Interfaces have been reported to significantly strengthen and toughen metallic materials.
However, there has been a long-standing question on whether interface-affected-zone (IAZ) …

Interfaces play a crucial role in mechanical behaviors of both laminated and gradient
structured materials. In this work, copper/bronze laminates with varying interface spacing …

The interfaces introduced in metals by heterostructural design play crucial roles in
mechanical behaviors. Here the effect of gradient interfaces on mechanical behavior was …

The interfacial stress-affected zone (ISAZ), characterized by a stress gradient maximizing at
the interface, is considered a key factor in determining the mechanical properties of …

Strength-ductility trade-off is usually an inevitable scenario in most engineering materials,

There has been a long-standing controversy on how dislocations interact with interfaces.
Here we report in-situ observations that in a Cu–brass heterostructured TEM film Frank …

Heterogeneous metals and alloys are a new class of materials with superior mechanical
properties. In this paper, we engineered sandwich-structured pure aluminum laminates …

Nanoscale metallic multilayered (NMM) composites possess ultra high strength (order of
GPa) and high ductility, and exhibit high fatigue resistance. Their mechanical behavior is …

In response to the growing demand for high-strength and high-toughness materials in
industries such as aerospace and automotive, there is a need for metal matrix composites …

This work introduces a framework for evaluating the strength characteristics of ceramic-to-
metal joints with multiple interlayers. Strain energy in the ceramic is used as a strength …
