This overview firstly introduces the state-of-the-art research progress in length scale-related
fatigue performance of conventionally-fabricated metals evaluated by miniature specimens …

In many applications metal foils are part of multifunctional composites exhibiting a wide
range of (thermo-) mechanical fatigue loading. Data about low cycle fatigue of metallic foils …

A modeling strategy is developed accounting for the simulation of fatigue in metallic
structures subjected to multiaxial, cyclic loading conditions. Cyclic plastic deformations are …

As the length scale of sample dimensions is reduced to the micron and sub-micron scales,
the strength of various materials has been observed to increase with decreasing size, a fact …

The goal of the present work is to identify and model the elastic–viscoplastic behavior of
electrodeposited copper films under tension–compression loadings. From the experimental …

Smaller grain sizes are known to improve the strength and ductility of metals by the Hall–
Petch effect. Consequently, metallic thin films and structures which must sustain mechanical …

The elastic-plastic and low-cycle fatigue behaviors of copper films are studied
experimentally and identified for further simulation works. A rolled annealed copper grade is …

The accurate determination of the elastic properties is non-trivial for metallic foils. The
measured elastic modulus is often described in literature as significantly smaller than the …

This Letter presents a quantitative in situ scanning electron microscope (SEM) nanoscale
high and very high cycle fatigue (HCF/VHCF) investigation of Ni microbeams under bending …

Polycrystalline Cu samples 20× 20 μm 2 in size were cyclically bent inside a scanning
electron microscope until fracture occurred. The microstructural changes were investigated …
