Viscoplastic behavior of metallic materials is manifested by collective behavior of lattice
defects at multiple length scales. The full gamut of length scales, from atomic to …

High-capacity electrodes in Li-ion batteries inevitably undergo a large volume deformation
originating from high diffusion-induced stresses during charging and discharging processes …

There exist two frameworks of strain gradient plasticity theories to model size effects
observed at the micron and sub-micron scales in experiments. The first framework involves …

Research trends in metal plasticity over the past 25years are briefly reviewed. The myriad of
length scales at which phenomena involving microstructure rearrangement during plastic …

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 …

The indentation size effect (ISE) has been studied in single crystals, polycrystals and
amorphous solids using the Vickers microhardness test. The ISE is clearly present in single …

Formation and nucleation mechanisms (ie γ→ ε, γ→ α′, γ→ deformation twins→ ε→ α′
and γ→ ε→ α′) of deformation-induced martensite (DIM) have been studied through …

High strength titanium alloys are generally used in widespread applications ranging over,
but not limited to biomedical, aerospace, automotive, marine, oil and gas, and energy …

The Gurson model [J. Engrg. Mater. Technol. 99 (1977) 2] has been widely used to study the
deformation and failure of metallic materials containing microvoids. The void volume fraction …

To examine effects of indentation size and substrate on the hardness determination of thin
films, two typical types of hard film/soft substrate (Ni/Fe) and soft film/hard substrate (Al/Si …
