Dislocation densities have been measured in Ni3Al(Hf) single crystals after deformation at various temperatures and strains. In addition, effective and athermal stresses have been determined by strain dip tests. A model is proposed for the strength anomaly ...
The operation of a single Frank–Read (FR) source in the presence of a spatial stress gradient is studied using 3D discrete-dislocation dynamics (DDD) simulations and analytic models. Under a sufficiently large stress gradient, the FR source shows a new sta ...
Self-healing materials are a novel class of materials able to repair structural or, more generally, functional damage to a part. They hence have the potential to improve reliability and cost effectiveness, because failure or loss of functionality may be po ...
Magnesium is an excellent candidate as lightweight structural material, but has strong plastic anisotropy, and the activation of, operation of, and competition between different slip and twinning systems remain active areas of research. Here, the nucleatio ...
Existing bridges may have been designed and constructed according to codes without any provisions for seismic design and detailing. Particularly in countries with moderate seismicity, such as Switzerland, modern seismic design standards might have been int ...
The flexoelectric effect is the response of electric polarization to a mechanical strain gradient. It can be viewed as a higher-order effect with respect to piezoelectricity, which is the response of polarization to strain itself. However, at the nanoscale ...
A split Hopkinson pressure bar system with a special shape striker has been suggested as the test method by the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) to determine the dynamic characteristics of rock materials. In order to further verify this test ...
Flexoelectricity-the coupling between polarization and strain gradients-is a universal effect allowed by symmetry in all materials. Following its discovery several decades ago, studies of flexoelectricity in solids have been scarce due to the seemingly sma ...
This paper aims to analyse the anisotropic features of behaviour of Opalinus Clay using the theory of plastic multi-mechanisms. The results of triaxial tests conducted with different load levels and directions showed that the mechanical behaviour of this s ...
Under certain exposure conditions, femtosecond lasers create nanogratings in the bulk of fused silica for which the orientation is governed by the laser polarization. Such nanostructure induces stress that affects optical and chemical properties of the mat ...
