Identifying the nature of the region where the mastic meets the aggregate surface (interfacial
transition zone, ITZ) is very helpful in understanding some mechanisms that govern the …

Under mechanical loading, nanocrystalline metals show unique behaviour, among the most
common of which are high strength, mechanically induced grain growth and twin formation …

Stress-induced alignment of Nd 2 Fe 14 B nanograins along (001) planes represents a
practical process with which to create uniaxial high-anisotropy Ndsingle bondFesingle bond …

Theoretical modeling suggests that the grain size remains unchanged during fatigue crack
growth in nanocrystalline metals. Here we demonstrate that a modulated structure is …

Determining displacement and/or strain fields at the nanoscale during material deformation
can be instrumental in developing a multiscale understanding of material response. Full …

While nanocrystalline materials hold promise for structural applications in which increased
strength is beneficial, their adoption has been hindered by concerns over the achievable …

Both twinning and its reversible process, ie, detwinning, play important roles in crystalline
plasticity, especially for nanostructured metals and alloys. Contrary to the popular belief that …

A unique technique, in situ TEM tensile testing, was used to investigate the fracture process
of Ni-Cr-Co-Ti-V-Al high-entropy alloy coating with complex phases. The results of in situ …

Nanoparticles are extensively introduced to improve the mechanical, physical, and chemical
properties of alloys. In the present study, the underlying nano-refinement mechanisms of …

We designed a clamped beam bending test using a nanoindentation holder with help of
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and focused ion beam specimen fabrication. The …
