Atomistic Modelling-Based Design of Novel Materials
This review presents a selection of atomistic methods ranging from molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo to quantum mechanical calculation within a widely used framework of Density Functional Theory.
Deformation-Induced Supersaturation During High-Pressure Torsion
Bulk nanostructured materials have been the subject of extensive research over the past couple of decades due to their extraordinary mechanical and functional properties.
Simulating Arterial Plaque
Researchers have molded a hydrogel lumen using a tough polyacrylamide with regions selectively mineralized with calcium phosphate to mimic plaque.
Nano- and Micro-Mechanical Properties of Ultrafine-Grained Materials
This review summarizes the available experimental results showing enhancements in strength and ductility in a range of UFG metals after several different SPD processing procedures.
Thiol-Ene versus Binary Thiol–Acrylate Chemistry
Thiol-ene photopolymers provide a uniform network structure due to the well-defined step-growth mechanism of the photopolymerization between thiol and alkene monomers.
Special Issue: Fracture and Fatigue
This special issue of Advanced Engineering Materials covers different aspects of brittle fracture and fatigue of traditional and advanced materials.
A Nanoindentation Approach for the Extraction of Flow Curves
This study aims to provide evidence that a multiple sharp tip approach can be used to extract the stress/strain behavior of metals independent of their microstructure.
3D Printed Chiral Cellular Solids with Amplified Auxetic Effects
The concept of amplifying chirality-induced auxetic effect via elevating internal rotation efficiency was proposed and proved via multi-material 3D printing, mechanical experiments, and FE simulations.
Transparent Scratch-Resistant Coating
Thin films obtained by deposition of metallic, opaque aluminium and its subsequent transformation into a transparent oxide were found to show high hardness values and acceptable optical transmission values.
