Magnesium, its alloys and composites with an approximate density of two-thirds of aluminum
and a quarter of steel are the most prominent engineering materials in various industries …

Tension-compression asymmetry is a common phenomenon in the deformation behavior of
nickel-based superalloys, and a thorough understanding of this phenomenon is essential …

Grain size effects on the competition between dislocation slip and 10 1¯ 2-twinning in
magnesium are investigated using discrete dislocation dynamics simulations. These …

This paper is aimed at investigating the mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms
of nanocrystalline copper under nanoindentation. The Voronoi tessellation method is …

Deformation twinning is a common plastic deformation mode in polycrystalline magnesium
(Mg), so the interaction between twin boundary (TB) and grain boundary (GB) plays an …

Plasticity in magnesium crystals oriented for c-axis compression has been usually attributed
to< c+a> dislocation slip on second-order pyramidal {11 2¯ 2} planes. Through molecular …

Magnesium (Mg) has the lowest density of all structural metals and has excellent potential
for wide use in structural applications. While pure Mg has inferior mechanical properties; the …

Temperature effects on the mobility of< c+ a> dislocations on pyramidal planes are
characterized by molecular dynamics simulations. On the first-order pyramidal planes, near …

Here, we report a comprehensive study that combines in situ scanning electron microscopy
experiments and atomistic simulations to quantify the effect of crystal size on the …

Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the cyclic deformation of
magnesium single crystalline nano-pillars in the first three cycles. To study the tension …
