In this paper, we systematically proposed the strategy of tailoring strain delocalization to
evade long-standing strength-ductility trade-off dilemma. The scientific contribution is to …

Advanced experimental and numerical approaches are being developed to capture the
localization of plasticity at the nanometer scale as a function of the multiscale and …

Interfaces have crucial, but still poorly understood, roles in the performance of secondary
solid-state batteries. Here, using crystallographically oriented and highly faceted thick …

Catastrophic accidents caused by fatigue failures often occur in engineering structures.
Thus, a fundamental understanding of cyclic-deformation and fatigue-failure mechanisms is …

Additively manufactured (AM) metallic materials commonly possess substantial microscale
internal stresses that manifest as intergranular and intragranular residual stresses. However …

The present study investigates the crystallographic-texture effects on the improved fatigue
resistance in the CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloys (HEAs) with the full-size geometry of the …

Strengthening from single lattice defect such as dislocations or nanoprecipitates generally
leads to the so-called strength-ductility tradeoff, which becomes particularly pronounced at …

We study the mechanisms of slip transfer at a grain boundary, in titanium, using Differential
Aperture X-ray Laue Micro-diffraction (DAXM). This 3D characterisation tool enables …

Engineering strong and ductile structural materials has been an enduring pursuit over the
past few decades. Here we proposed a heterogeneous laminated/gradient integrated …

Laser shock peening (LSP) plays an important role in simultaneously strengthening and
toughening materials for many engineering applications, such as key structures of aircraft …
