This paper reviews the most recent models for description of the anisotropic plastic behavior
and formability of sheet metals. After a brief review of classic isotropic yield functions, recent …

With the rapid development of micro‐electromechanical systems (MEMS), micro/nanoscale
fabrication of 3D metallic structures with complex structures and multifunctions is becoming …

The effects of grain size on tensile behavior of Inconel718 superalloy have been
characterized by an in-situ tensile stage inside a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) …

Titanium alloy is prominent in manufacturing of high-performance miniature devices, while
size-affected plastic heterogeneity and asymmetry in micro-scaled deformation are not well …

By using molecular dynamics and cluster dynamics simulations, we probed the role of
hydrogen-vacancy complexes on nucleation and growth of proto nano-voids upon …

For the establishment of reliable micro/meso scale forming processes, it is essential to
accurately predict the forming limits of metal foils under different deformation paths …

In engineering practice, it is critical to accurately forecast the fracture initiation of ductile
metals. Currently, various uncoupled ductile fracture criteria (DFCs) have been constructed …

Advanced manufacture technologies, oriented to implants featured with high reliability, low
cost and high biocompatibility, are key approaches to advance the rehabilitation efficacy and …

Product miniaturisation has increased the demand for cross-scaled components with various
sized features covering the macroscale (mm-scale) and mesoscale (μm-scale). During the …

Plastic deformation at the macroscopic scale has been widely exploited in industrial practice
in order to obtain desired shape and control the requested properties of metallic alloy parts …
