Irreversible plastic forming of B19′ martensite of the NiTi shape memory alloy is discussed
within the framework of continuum mechanics. It is suggested that the main mechanism …

Twinning-induced plasticity plays a critical role in determining the deformation behaviors of
hexagonal close-packed metals (eg, Mg and Ti), due to the lack of five independent slip …

We present results on an automaton model of an amorphous solid under cyclic shear. After a
transient, the steady state falls into one of three cases in order of increasing strain …

We study the mechanical response of a dislocation-free 2D crystal under homogenous
shear using a new mesoscopic approach to crystal plasticity, a Landau-type theory …

Malgré une étude précurseur de Becker et Orowan en 1932 sur le Zinc, l'analyse des
fluctuations dans la dynamique de la déformation plastique des matériaux cristallins a été …

We present a theoretical method for deriving the stress tensor and elastic response of
ordered systems within a Ginzburg-Landau-type density field theory in the linear regime …

We address the question of why larger, high-symmetry crystals are mostly weak, ductile, and
statistically subcritical, while smaller crystals with the same symmetry are strong, brittle and …

As circuitry approaches single nanometer length scales, it has become important to predict
the stability of single nanometer-sized metals. The behavior of metals at larger scales can be …

Atomic simulations of materials require significant resources to generate, store, and analyze.
Here, descriptor functions are proposed as a general, metric latent space for atomic …

Dislocation nucleation in homogeneous crystals begins as a symmetry-breaking elastic
instability. In the absence of explicit nucleation centers, such instability develops …
