The classical problem of indentation on an elastic substrate has found new applications in the field of the Atomic Force Microscopy. However, linearly elastic indentation models are not sufficiently accurate to predict the…
In layered materials, a common mode of deformation involves buckling of the layers under tensile deformation in the direction perpendicular to the layers. The instability mechanism, which operates in elastic materials from geological to…
For polymer nanocomposites, disordered microstructural nature makes processing control and tailoring properties to desired values a challenge. Understanding process-structure-property relation can provide guidelines for process and…
In this work a general framework for damage and fracture assessment including the effect of strain gradients is provided. Both mechanism-based and phenomenological strain gradient plasticity (SGP) theories are implemented numerically using…
We report on the poroelastic indentation response of hydrogel thin films geometrically confined within contacts with rigid spherical probes of radii in the millimeter range. Poly(PEGMA) (poly(ethylene glycol)) methyl ether methacrylate),…
Experimentally measuring the elastic properties of thin biological surfaces is non-trivial, particularly when they are curved. One technique that may be used is the indentation of a thin sheet of material by a rigid indenter, whilst…
Deep indentation of soft materials is ubiquitous across scales in nature and engineering, yet accurate predictions of contact behaviors under extreme deformations ($\delta/R > 1$) remain elusive due to geometric and material nonlinearities.…
Experiments and simulations show that when an initially defect free rigid crystal is subjected to deformation at a constant rate, irreversible plastic flow commences at the so-called {\em yield point}. The yield point is a weak function of…
Different compaction processes of the nanosized granular system, which is a prototype of an alumina nanopowder, are studied by the granular dynamics method. For all processes: compaction curves ''density vs. pressure'' of the powder compact…
Voids can limit the life of engineering components. This motivates us to understand local plasticity around voids in a nickel base superalloy combining experiments and simulations. Single crystal samples were deformed in tension with…
Concentrated solid solution alloys (CSAs) have attracted attention for their promising properties; however, current manufacturing methods face challenges in complexity, high costs, and limited scalability, raising concerns about industrial…
The first plastic event occurring in discrete intermittent plasticity, as for example a pop-in seen in nano-indentation, is evaluated with extreme value statistics. It is found that when the same deformation is repeated many times, the…
Nanoindentation is vital for probing mechanical properties, yet traditional grid-based workflows are inefficient for targeting specific microstructural features. We present an automated nanoindentation framework that integrates machine…
Computational modeling is usually applied to aid experimental exploration of advanced materials to better understand the fundamental plasticity mechanisms during mechanical testing. In this work, we perform Molecular dynamics (MD)…
It is well known that ion irradiation can be successfully used to reproduce microstructural features triggered by neutron irradiation. Even though the irradiation process brings many benefits, it is also associated with several drawbacks.…
Nano- and micromagnetic materials have been extensively employed in micro-functional devices. However, measuring small-scale mechanical and magnetomechanical properties is challenging, which restricts the design of new products and the…
We study nonequilibrium roughening during compressive plastic flow of initially flat Cu$_{50}$Zr$_{50}$ metallic glass using large-scale molecular dynamics simulations. Roughness emerges at atomically flat interfaces beyond the yield point…
The question of how a disordered material's microstructure translates into macroscopic mechanical response is central to understanding and designing materials like pastes, foams and metallic glasses. Here, we examine a 2D soft jammed…
Mechanical failure of an ideal crystal is dictated either by an elastic instability or a soft-mode instability. We show that the ideal strength measurement of graphene based on nano-indentation experiments \cite{lee2008measurement,…
Metals exhibit an upturn in strength at strain rates of approximately 1000 s-1 - 3000 s-1, governed by rapid dislocation multiplication, interactions and storage. This phenomenon is strongly influenced by the initial dislocation density…
