of properties such as dislocation mobility, cross-slip and short-range interactions with other …

Theory of strengthening in fcc high entropy alloys

C Varvenne, A Luque, WA Curtin - Acta Materialia, 2016 - Elsevier
Abstract High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) are a new class of random alloys having impressive

A revisit to atomistic rationale for slip in shape memory alloys

P Chowdhury, H Sehitoglu - Progress in Materials Science, 2017 - Elsevier
Performance degradation in shape memory alloys (SMA) arises due to a gradual loss of
strain recoverability attributable to slip mediated plasticity. The slip-induced changes in …

Amorphous shear bands in crystalline materials as drivers of plasticity

X Hu, N Liu, V Jambur, S Attarian, R Su, H Zhang… - Nature Materials, 2023 - nature.com
Traditionally, the formation of amorphous shear bands in crystalline materials has been
undesirable, because shear bands can nucleate voids and act as precursors to fracture …

Derivation and variation in composition-dependent stacking fault energy maps based on subregular solution model in high-manganese steels

A Saeed-Akbari, J Imlau, U Prahl, W Bleck - Metallurgical and Materials …, 2009 - Springer

Ideal pure shear strength of aluminum and copper

S Ogata, J Li, S Yip - Science, 2002 - science.org
Although aluminum has a smaller modulus in {111}〈 112̄〉 shear than that of copper, we
find by first-principles calculation that its ideal shear strength is larger because of a more …

Origin of dramatic oxygen solute strengthening effect in titanium

Q Yu, L Qi, T Tsuru, R Traylor, D Rugg, JW Morris Jr… - Science, 2015 - science.org
Structural alloys are often strengthened through the addition of solute atoms. However,
given that solute atoms interact weakly with the elastic fields of screw dislocations, it has …
