There has been a challenge for many decades to understand how heterogeneities influence
the behavior of materials under shock loading, eventually leading to spall formation and …

Molecular dynamics (MD) shows a difference in the mechanisms of fracture of iron under
uniaxial and isotropic tension. Uniaxial tension leads to the formation of a complex …

The dissimilar joining of TA2/Q235 had attracted great attention because of its important
applications in the nuclear fusion, aerospace, petrochemical industry. The possibility of …

In cold spray processing of metals, the critical velocity for particle bonding is dependent on
both intrinsic material properties, such as density and (spall) strength, and extrinsic process …

This study investigates the effect of laser shock peening (LSP) on the evolution of stress
waves and dislocations in Ti-6Al-4V alloy by multi-scale simulation. The finite element model …

Explosive welding is widely used in the manufacture of dissimilar metal composite plates. In
this work, TC4/TA1/Ti6321 titanium alloy laminated composites were successfully prepared …

Dynamic tensile (spall) fracture of pure Pb and Sn in solid and molten states is investigated
by MD simulations. The influence of unwettable inclusions on the spall strength is revealed …

The effects of pre-strain on shock compression and spallation damage of commercially pure
titanium are investigated via plate impact experiments. The titanium samples are pre …

Understanding the deformation behavior of metallic materials at high strain rates requires
the characterization of plasticity contributors, such as twins, phase transformed regions, and …

Investigating the shock-induced structural phase transition (PT) in Al is of paramount interest
due to its extensive use in numerous dynamic compression experiments. In this paper, we …
