Over the last three decades, a number of researchers have used the gradient-enhanced
plasticity theory to model the microstructural material behavior, which is not able to be …

The development of solid-state batteries has encountered a number of problems due to the
complex interfacial contact conditions between lithium (Li) metal and solid electrolytes (SEs) …

Nanoindentation test is known as a powerful method for non-destructive characterization
and analysis of mechanical properties of nanoscale materials. In this method, the indenting …

Indentation is one of the most widely used methods to determine the characteristics of
metallic materials. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are a powerful tool to investigate …

Significant hardening effect due to Fe concentrations in Ni-based alloys with face-centered-
cubic structure has been studied by using a combined experimental and atomistic-based …

A computational framework is presented to include the effects of grain size and morphology
in the crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE) method for simulations of polycrystals. The …

Understanding the incipient plastic behavior of refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) is
crucial for their high-temperature applications. In this study, the initial dislocation nucleation …

Both natural as well as artificial vesicles are of tremendous interest in biology and
nanomedicine. Small vesicles (< 200 nm) perform essential functions in cell biology and …

A series of nanoindentation tests were performed on a high entropy bulk metallic glass (HE-
BMG). At low peak-loads, high positive strain rate sensitivity was found. But increasing the …

The seminal work of Nix and Gao in (J Mech Phys Solids, 46: 411–425, 1998), laid the
foundation for quantifying indentation size effect (ISE). Several groups around the world …
