Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is effective in producing bulk ultrafine-grained and
nanostructured materials with large densities of lattice defects. This field, also known as …

Amorphization of crystalline structures is a ubiquitous phenomenon in metals, ceramics, and
intermetallic compounds. Although the amorphous phase generally has a higher Gibbs free …

Numerous experiments have documented that combination of severe plastic deformation
and high mean pressure during high-pressure torsion in rotational metallic, ceramic, or …

Review of selected fundamental topics on the interaction between phase transformations,
fracture, and other structural changes in inelastic materials is presented. It mostly focuses on …

This paper formulates stress-assisted and strain-induced austenite to martensite
transformation kinetics laws within a crystal plasticity framework to enable modeling of strain …

While silicon carbide (SiC) has been predicted to undergo pressure-induced amorphization,
the microstructural evidence of such a drastic phase change is absent as its brittleness …

Severe plastic deformations (SPD) under high pressure, mostly by high-pressure torsion, are
employed for producing nanostructured materials and stable or metastable high-pressure …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the amorphous band nucleation and growth ahead
of the tip of a shuffle 60 o dislocation pileup at different grain boundaries (GBs) in diamond …

Ultrafine-grained and heterostructured materials are currently of high interest due to their
superior mechanical and functional properties. Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is one of …

Recently, results of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were obtained for the crystal
