In this study, Cu-Cr composites were studied by nanoindentation. Arrays of indents were placed over large areas of the samples resulting in datasets consisting of several hundred measurements of Young's modulus and hardness at varying…
An indentation testing method, which utilizes lateral contact of a long cylindrical indenter, is developed for a thin transversely isotropic incompressible elastic film deposited onto a smooth rigid substrate. It is assumed that the…
We present a study of the elastic and plastic behavior of nanoporous gold in compression, focusing on molecular dynamics simulation and inspecting experimental data for verification. Both approaches agree on an anomalously high elastic…
Topologically close packed phases, among them the $\mu$-phase studied here, are commonly considered as being hard and brittle due to their close packed and complex structure. Nanoindentation enables plastic deformation and therefore…
In this work, distortion gradient plasticity is used to gain insight into material deformation ahead of a crack tip. This also constitutes the first fracture mechanics analysis of gradient plasticity theories adopting Nye's tensor as primal…
In two-dimensional Lennard-Jones glasses, mechanical probing reveals that local yield surfaces are dominated by regions with a positive second derivative of the yield stress with respect to the loading angle. Each feature corresponds to a…
Residual stress and plastic strain in additive manufactured materials can exhibit significant microscopic variation at the powder scale, profoundly influencing the overall properties of printed components. This variation depends on…
Conventional polycrystalline materials acquire high levels of intrinsic mechanical stress (ranging from MPa to a few GPa) during preparation and use, but this stress decays quickly (~minutes) to small residual values (~kPa) under standard…
Severe plastic deformations under high pressure are used to produce nanostructured materials but were studied ex-situ. We introduce rough diamond anvils to reach maximum friction equal to yield strength in shear and perform the first…
The influence on macroscopic work hardening of small, spherical, elastic particles dispersed within a matrix is studied using an isotropic strain gradient plasticity framework. An analytical solution, based on a recently developed yield…
We present a mathematical description of amorphous solid deformation and plasticity by extending the concept of instantaneous normal modes (INMs) to deformed systems, which allows us to retain the effect of strain on the vibrational density…
Modeling of wrinkles and folds formation in single and multilayer graphene sheets lying on flat deformable (polymer) substrates has been carried out. It is shown that the deformability of the substrate leads to the appearance of significant…
We report on transient adhesion and conductance phenomena associated with tip wetting in mechanical contacts produced by the indentation of a clean W(111) tip into a Au(111) surface. A combination of atomic force microscopy and scanning…
Slow crack propagation in ductile, and in certain brittle materials, appears to take place via the nucleation of voids ahead of the crack tip due to plastic yields, followed by the coalescence of these voids. Post mortem analysis of the…
Information of material deformation upon loading is critical to evaluate mechanical properties of materials in general, and key to understand fundamental mechano-stimuli induced response of live systems in particular. Conventionally, such…
The interface properties of interest in multilayers include interfacial charge densities, dipole densities, band offsets, and screening-lengths, among others. Most such properties are inaccesible to direct measurements, but are key to…
This article deals with a viscoplastic material model of overstress type. The model is based on a multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into elastic and inelastic part. An additional multiplicative decomposition of…
Refractory metals that can withstand at high temperatures and harsh conditions are of utmost importance for solar-thermal and energy storage applications. Thin films of TiN have been deposited using cathodic vacuum arc deposition (CVA) at…
Thin membranes exhibit complex responses to external forces or geometrical constraints. A familiar example is the wrinkling, exhibited by human skin, plant leaves, and fabrics, resulting from the relative ease of bending versus stretching.…
Surface wrinkling is an instability mode that is often observed in a wide variety of multilayer tubes under bending deformation. When the degree of applied bending exceeds a critical value, wrinkles appear at the intrados of the tube and…
