Title: A comprehensive study of the microstructure and mechanical behavior of HCP-based multilayered nanofilms
Author: Lu, Yuanyuan
Date Created: 2014
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Materials science
Description: Metallic multilayer films with the individual layer thickness h decreased to submicron or even less have attracted a great deal of attention over the past decades because of their impressive mechanical properties, especially the high strength. Mos...

Title: COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF IMPURITIES ON THE DUCTILITY OF TANTALUM AND TUNGSTEN BASED ON ATOMISTIC AND FIRST PRINCIPLES CALCULATIONS
Author: Pan, Zhiliang
Date Created: 2012
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Materials science
Description: Tungsten and tantalum are neighbors in the Periodic Table of the Elements and, as refractory metals, both have very high melting points (tungsten: 3422oC, tantalum: 2996oC). However, the ductility of the two metals is quite different especially at...

Title: COMPRESSIVE BEHAVIOR OF BULK METALLIC GLASS UNDER DIFFERENT CONDITIONS - COUPLED EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE AND STRAIN RATE
Author: Yin, Weihua
Date Created: 2013
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Materials science
Description: Metallic glass was rst reported in 1960 by rapid quenching of Au-Si alloys. But, due to the size limitation, this material did not attract remarkable interest until the development of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with specimen sizes in excess of 1...

Title: Correction of the post-necking True Stress-Strain data using Instrumented Nanoindentation
Author: Romero Fonseca, Ivan
Date Created: 2014
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Materials science
Description: The study of large plastic deformations has been the focus of numerous studies particularly in the metal forming processes and fracture mechanics fields. A good understanding of the plastic flow properties of metallic alloys and the true stresses ...
