Heterophases, such as precipitates, inclusions, second phases, or reinforcement particles,
often drive void nucleation due to local incompatibilities in stresses/strains. This results in a …

Abstract 2G-NPR bolt (the 2nd generation Negative Poisson's Ratio bolt) is a new type of
bolt with high strength, high toughness and no yield platform. It has significant effects on …

In this paper, in-situ micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) experiments were performed
on mild steel samples under monotonic tension using X-ray microscopy. A three …

The complicated geological environment of deep rocks poses new challenges to tunnel and
mining engineering. Some thorny disasters such as large deformation of soft rock and …

Tuning thermal treatment schedule has been confirmed as an effective technical route for
achieving optimum properties of steels. In the present work, the intercritical quenching …

Stress loss at the excavation face, stemming from underground chamber excavation, is the
primary culprit behind geotechnical accidents. Implementing timely stress compensation is …

Quantifying damage to improve the constitutive models that better account for damage
prediction is of great importance in metal forming process. In this study, high-resolution …

We explore the mechanical behavior and microstructural evolution of a novel high
manganese austenitic steel (HMAS), extensively applied in underground engineering and …

The mechanical tensile properties of T91 steel after being oxidized in liquid LBE saturated
by oxygen at 350–500° C for up to 1000 h are studied. Duplex oxide scales are found on …

The dynamic tensile behavior of a novel-developed plate steel with high strength and
toughness is investigated. Uniaxial tensile tests are conducted at various strain rates varying …
