Shale oil and gas primarily exist in nanoscale pore-fracture networks. Thus, it is essential to
clarify the flow behavior of hydrocarbon in confined nanopores. This paper summarizes …

This paper reviews the application of molecular dynamics simulations on mechanical and
tribological properties of polymer composites reinforced by carbon nanotubes and graphene …

Pressure-induced phase transformations (PTs) in Si, the most important electronic material,
have been broadly studied, whereas strain-induced PTs have never been studied in situ …

Ultra-precision machining (UPM) is capable of manufacturing a high quality surface at a
nanometric surface roughness. For such high quality surface in a UPM process, due to the …

The removal mechanism of conventional cutting and in-process-heat laser-assisted cutting
(In-LAC) of binderless polycrystalline tungsten carbide (WC) material is studied through …

A variety of cutting tool materials are used for the contact mode mechanical machining of
components under extreme conditions of stress, temperature and/or corrosion, including …

The defects and subsurface damages induced by crystal growth and micro/nano-machining
have a significant impact on the functional performance of machined products. Raman …

The brittle–ductile transition (BDT) widely exists in the manufacturing with extremely small
deformation scale, thermally assisted machining, and high-speed machining. This paper …

Brittle materials are widely used for producing important components in the industry of
