Metal fatigue during cyclic loading puts an endurance limit on most of today's technology. It impacts the reliability of metallic components used for transportation, electronic devices and energy production because fatigue failure can occur without any app ...
Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to study the deformation mechanisms of < 110 >-oriented, faceted Cu and Au nanowires under bending along three different crystallographic directions. Independent of the bending direction, the stress field is ch ...
The macroscopic strength of metals is determined by the dislocation arrangements that are formed when dislocations slip in the crystal lattice in response to the applied stress. Despite the extensive research carried out, the transition from uniform to non ...
Nanocrystalline (NC) metals have attracted widespread interest in materials science due to their high strength compared to coarse-grained counterparts. It is well know that during uniaxial deformation, the stress-strain behaviour exhibits an extraordinary ...
Structural components used in civil engineering applications are often subjected to compressive loads. Unlike the tensile strength of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials, their compressive strength is resin-dominated, exhibiting lower values and more ...
The effects of thermal treatments on a Co-Ni-Cr super-alloy in the temperature range from 250 degrees C to 900 degrees C, resulting in secondary hardening, have been studied by Mechanical Spectroscopy. The simultaneous evolution of the internal friction sp ...
A commercial scanning thermal microscope has been upgraded to facilitate its use in estimating the radial thermal diffusivity of thin films close to room temperature. The modified setup includes a microcontroller driven microhotplate coupled with a Bluetoo ...
Different Au-Ag-Cu samples have been studied by mechanical spectroscopy. Both polycrystals and bi-crystals show a relaxation peak at 800 K, accompanied by an elastic modulus change. Since this peak is absent in single crystals it is related to the presence ...

Glass fiber reinforced composites with a self-healing, supramolecular hybrid network matrix were produced using a modified vacuum assisted resin infusion moulding process adapted to high temperature processing. The quality and fiber volume fraction (50%) o ...
Dislocation dynamics are important to understand material plasticity effects, e.g. size dependent strain hardening. Dislocations are nucleated at nano-scale, and interact with other defects including grain boundaries and other dislocations at micro-scale. ...
