A comprehensive overview is given of the literature on slip transmission criteria for grain
boundaries in metals, with a focus on slip system and grain boundary orientation. Much of …

Experimental results indicate that metal–ceramic multilayered thin films have unusual
properties such as high strength, measurable plasticity and high strain hardening rate when …

Basal slip and dynamic recovery of dislocations have been long assumed as the main
mechanisms accounting for the sharp texturing of magnesium alloys upon dynamic …

The (1¯ 012) twin boundaries experimentally observed in hexagonal-close-packed metals
are often serrated rather than fully coherent. These serrated coherent twin boundaries …

Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, the dislocation structures of $[1\,\bar {2}\, 1\, 0]
$ symmetric tilt grain boundaries (STGBs) in hexagonal close packed (hcp) crystal structures …

Nanostructured metals and alloys possess ultrahigh strength but suffer from severe shear
instability (strain localization). Recent experiments have shown that the strength and strain …

We performed molecular dynamics simulation of nanoindentation on Cu/Ni nanotwinned
multilayer films using a spherical indenter, aimed to investigate the effects of hetero-twin …

Interfaces, such as grain boundaries, phase boundaries, and surfaces, are important in
materials of any microstructural size scale, whether the microstructure is coarse-grained …

Heterogeneous phase interface with particular microstructure generally plays a key role in
the mechanical behavior of nanostructured metals and alloys. Here, we reported a novel …

Carbon nanofibre (CNF) is a potential reinforcement in Zn implants. Nevertheless, its poor
interfacial compatibility reduces the reinforcement efficiency drastically. In this study, rare …
