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 ...
The demand for architectural transparency has drastically increased structural use of glass in buildings and constructions. Connections between structural glass components represent one of the main critical aspects of glass engineering. In the last years, ...
Soils, as well as most of deformable multiphase porous materials, are likely to suffer from desiccation cracking, leading to the formation of regular crack patterns affecting their permeability. The ensuing cracks spacing has often been related to a concep ...
The dynamic initiation of sliding at planar interfaces between deformable and rigid solids is studied with particular focus on the speed of the slip front. Recent experimental results showed a close relation between this speed and the local ratio of shear ...
Polycrystalline ruby (alpha-Al2O3:Cr3+), a widely used pressure calibrant in high-pressure experiments, was compressed to 68.1 GPa at room temperature under non-hydrostatic conditions in a diamond anvil cell. Angle-dispersive X-ray diffraction experiments ...
We derive a three-dimensional constitutive theory accounting for length-scale dependent internal residual stresses in crystalline materials that develop due to a non-homogeneous spatial distribution of the excess dislocation (edge and screw) density. The s ...
The experiment performed by Bonneville and Escaig, designed for the direct measurement of the activation parameters of cross-slip, has been repeated. A denser initial dislocation forest density is obtained with a higher predeformation stress compared with ...
Atomistic models for friction suffer from the severe length- and time-scale restrictions of molecular dynamics. Even when they yield good qualitative results, it is difficult to draw meaningful quantitative conclusions from them. In this paper, a novel app ...
Variant selection is commonly observed in martensitic steels when a stress is applied to the material during transformation. Classically, the selection phenomenon is modelled considering the work of the shape strain in the applied stress field. This shape ...
The creep and stress relaxation behavior of a Fe-17Mn-5Si-10Cr-4Ni-1(V,C) (wt%) shape memory alloy at low homologous temperatures (-45 degrees C < T < 50 degrees C) was systematically studied in stress and strain controlled tensile tests. At constant stres ...
