This article is a literature review of recent advances in novel Fe-Mn based alloys, drawing
specific examples on Hadfield and TWIP steels, and high entropy and shape memory alloys …

This article discusses computational analysis methods typically used in atomistic modeling
of crystalline materials and highlights recent developments that can provide better insights …

The mechanisms of deformation under a nanoindentation in tantalum, chosen as a model
body-centered cubic (bcc) metal, are identified and quantified. Molecular dynamics (MD) …

Using molecular-dynamics simulation, we study nanoindentation in fcc (Cu and Al) and bcc
(Fe and Ta) metals by a spherical indenter and investigate the size of the plastic zone …

Using molecular-dynamics simulation, we study nanoindentation and scratching in an Fe (1
0 0) surface. We find an indentation hardness of 20 GPa in good agreement with experiment …

One of key factors in designing high-performance alloys is to understand their incipient
behavior. To get detailed real-time atomic scale evolutions of multi-principal element alloys …

Determining the competition between the {110}⟨ 111⟩,{112}⟨ 111⟩ and {123}⟨ 111⟩ slip
systems in body-centered cubic (BCC) metals is important to understand their mechanical …

Nanoindentation simulations are a helpful complement to experiments. There is a dearth of
nanoindentation simulations for bcc metals, partly due to the lack of computationally efficient …

Using molecular dynamics simulation we study scratching of Fe crystals by a hard repulsive
tip. Three surface orientations–(1 0 0),(1 1 0), and (1 1 1)–are studied with two scratch …

Electroplated hard chromium (EPHC) is used in many industries as a wear and corrosion
resistant coating. However, the long term viability of the electroplating process is at risk due …
