Additive manufacturing has been established as a process to produce structural and load-
bearing parts, and this process has become attractive to many industries such as medical …

The compressive properties of metal–organic framework (MOF) crystals are not only crucial
for their densification process but also key in determining their performance in many …

We show that nonlinear continuum elasticity can be effective in modeling plastic flows in
crystals if it is viewed as a Landau theory with an infinite number of equivalent energy wells …

Unlike the twinning-dominated tensile mode, compressive deformation of a bcc metallic
nanostructure is known to be mediated by the glide of screw dislocations. Although the …

Designing and controlling particle self-assembly into robust and reliable high-performance
smart materials often involves crystalline ordering in curved spaces. Examples include …

Intermittent plastic deformation in crystals with power-law behaviors has been reported in
previous experimental studies. The power-law behavior is reminiscent of self-organized …

The hysteresis or internal friction in the deformation of crystalline solids stressed cyclically is
studied from the viewpoint of collective dislocation dynamics. Stress-controlled simulations …

To investigate the barrier effect of grain boundaries on the propagation of avalanchelike
plasticity at the atomic scale, we perform three-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations …

Crystalline solids undergo plastic deformation and subsequently flow when subjected to
stresses beyond their elastic limit. In nature most crystalline solids exist in polycrystalline …

Using numerical simulations we examine colloids with a long-range Coulomb interaction
confined in a two-dimensional trough potential undergoing dynamical compression. As the …
