Severe plastic deformation (SPD) has established itself as a potent means of producing bulk
ultrafine grained and nanostructured materials. It has given rise to burgeoning research that …

Literature sources have been reviewed, various techniques, methods and software for
investigating fracture of polycrystalline materials have been subjected to the systematic …

Disclinations together with dislocations represent a class of linear defects in solids.
Disclinations are characterized by typical singularities and the property of multi-value of the …

It seems there is no special need to comment on the term'nanostructure'now, when one often
meets the'nano'words not only in scientific journals but even in newspapers. Moreover …

The factors responsible for the transition from reagent interaction involving a liquid phase in
ordinary SHS powder mixtures to solid‐state combustion after preliminary activation of these …

Superplasticity and Grain Boundaries in Ultrafine-Grained Materials, Second Edition,
provides cutting-edge modeling solutions surrounding the role of grain boundaries in …

An overview of recent achievements of the disclination approach in mechanics and physics
of solids is given and the use of disclination modeling in materials science is demonstrated …

Mesomechanics involves analyzing the deformation and/or fracture of solids at the micro-,
meso-and macro-scale level. Base elements for each scale level are chosen such that the …

The analytical review of the currently boosting nonlinear geomechanics and geophysics
research toward developing the theory of the dynamic deformation of geomedia under …

Shock compression of polycrystalline copper was numerically investigated by use of a
discrete-element model to highlight underlying heterogeneous and nonequilibrium …
