This article reviews recent basic research on two classes of twins: growth twins and
deformation twins. We focus primarily on studies that aim to understand, via experiments …

Pushing the internal or external dimensions of metallic alloys down to the nanometer scale
gives rise to strong materials, though most often at the expense of a low ductility and a low …

Ballistic penetration is a serious threat to military vehicles. Honeycomb structure is one of the
most focused solution to improve the ballistic performance due to its great lightweight design …

Using liquid materials with specific geometries can enhance the explosion-proof properties
of confined structures. This approach is promising because bulk water has multiple blast …

A novel composite projectile is put forward to simulate combined blast and single fragment
impact loading, which is comprised of a cylindrical aluminum foam projectile embedded with …
