Recent experimental findings from the research team led by Prof. Jianbo Hu at the Institute of Fluid Physics, China Academy of Engineering Physics (CAEP), revealed partial dislocation-mediated plastic ...

It has been found that the mechanical properties of small volumes significantly differ from those of bulk volumes for a wide variety of materials. Several methods are available for increasing the ...

For decades researchers have studied materials from structures to see why and how they fail. Before catastrophic failure, there are individual cracks or dislocations that form, which are signals that ...
