To understand the underlying mechanisms that control the mechanical properties of
nanostructured metals, an insight into the role of the grain boundary in dislocation-driven …

An extensive study of size effects on the small-scale behavior of crystalline materials is
carried out through discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) simulations, intended to enrich …

In metallic materials, the activation of one slip system increases the flow strength of other slip
systems, which is phenomenon known as latent hardening. This latent hardening behavior …

In order to characterize the deformation behavior accompanying damage of microstructures
in micro-scale metallic materials, a new theoretical model is developed based on a low …

Recent experiments in micron-or sub-micron metallic pillars have displayed size dependent
plasticity. Dislocation dynamics (DD) simulations can be a useful tool in studying dislocation …

In the course of structural component miniaturization, the interest in the material behavior at
small scales and underlying physical mechanisms has significantly grown in the last years …

Mechanical properties of metals such as strength and toughness are strongly correlated to
complex interactions between various defects in the crystalline structure. While elementary …

Microwires have become of increasing interest for the miniaturization of structural
components. A profound understanding of the deformation behavior of microwires is …

The plasticity of body‐centered cubic (bcc) metals is dependent of temperature as well as
sample dimension at the micrometer scale, but the effects of cryogenic temperature on the …

At the continuum length scale, mechanical properties of metals show relatively weak
orientation dependence; however, they exhibit strong anisotropic behaviors as the size of …
