    Effects of stacking fault energy on the thermal stability and mechanical properties of nanostructured Cu-Al alloys during thermal annealing

    Effects of stacking fault energy (SFE) on the thermal stability and mechanical properties of nanostructured (NS) Cu-Al alloys during thermal annealing were investigated in this study. Compared with NS Cu-5at.%...

    Rate dependence of crack-tip processes predicts twinning trends in f.c.c. metals

    Crack-tip behaviour in metals is among the most basic problems in mechanics of materials. Yet, long-standing experimental evidence suggests that crack-tip twinning in face-centred-cubic (f.c.c.) metals is high...

    Indenter tip radius effect on the Nix–Gao relation in micro- and nanoindentation hardness experiments

    Nix and Gao established an important relation between microindentation hardness and indentation depth. Such a relation has been verified by many microindentation experiments (indentation depths in the micromet...
