The advantage of 3D printing—that is, additive manufacturing (AM) of structural materials—
has been severely compromised by their disappointing fatigue properties,. Commonly, poor …

Simultaneously investigating strain partitioning and the underlying deformation mechanisms
for both the grain interior and the grain boundary (GB) is essential for understanding the …

In recent years, it has been found that multiple cracks coexist in the existing steel bridge
orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) longitudinal rib-to-floorbeam (RF) details. The synergistic …

Multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) of low stacking fault energies (SFEs) often exhibit
outstanding damage tolerance. In contrast to the well-understood monotonic deformation …

Additively manufactured 316L stainless steels display significantly higher yield strength than
their as-cast or wrought counterparts. This is associated with the micro-scale cellular …

The past few decades have witnessed rapid progresses in the research and development of
complex metallic alloys such as metallic glasses and multi-principal element alloys, which …

Nanoindentation based techniques were significantly enhanced by continuous stiffness
