Most of the challenges experienced by many engineering materials originate from the
surface which later leads to total failure, hence affecting the resultant mechanical properties …

Over the last three decades, a number of researchers have used the gradient-enhanced
plasticity theory to model the microstructural material behavior, which is not able to be …

The recent studies on nanotwinned (NT) and hierarchical nanotwinned (HNT) face-centered
cubic (FCC) metals are presented in this review. The HNT structures have been supposed …

Motivated by recent discoveries concerning the extreme superiority of multilayer graphene in
terms of kinetic energy dissipation compared to conventional monolithic materials, this …

We conducted large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of ballistic impact tests on
ultrathin aluminum and polyurea layers and their multilayer arrangements to investigate the …

We investigated the effect of high density twins on the intergranular corrosion (IGC) of
austenitic stainless steel after sensitization. The twinned samples, especially the one with a …

Two-layered structures, especially the metal/ceramic structure, have proved to have far
better ballistic performance than a single-layered one. In this paper, a theoretical framework …

This paper presents a systematic computational study to investigate the effects of crystal
orientation, strain rate (impact velocity), and size (thickness) on plasticity and damage …

Twins were introduced into 316L austenitic stainless steel by shot peening treatments. The
twinned 316L was then exposed along with pristine 316L to oxygen-saturated liquid lead …

Ultra-fine grained copper with nanotwins is found to be both strong and ductile. It is expected
that nanocrystalline metals with lamella grains will have strain hardening behaviour. The …
