Deformation Behavior of Iron Single Crystals under Simple Shear

Nanovoid deformation in aluminum under simple shear

We analyze the mechanisms underlying the deformation of a nanovoid in an Al crystal subjected to cyclic shear deformation using numerical simulations. Boundary and cell-size effects have been minimized by means of the quasicontinuum method. The deformation of the void entails a noticeable reduction in volume. During the loading phase, our analysis reveals several stages of stress buildup separa...

Erythrocyte deformation under shear flow.

Instabilities in shear and simple shear deformations of gold crystals

We use the tight-binding potential and molecular mechanics simulations to study local and global instabilities in shear and simple shear deformations of three initially defectfree finite cubes of gold single crystal containing 3480, 7813, and 58,825 atoms. Displacements on all bounding surfaces are prescribed while studying simple shear deformations, but displacements on only two opposite surfa...

Investigation on the Deformation Behavior and Strain Distribution of Commercially Pure Aluminum after Circular Simple Shear Extrusion

Circular simple shear extrusion process was introduced as a new geometry for simple shear extrusion technique to fabricate ultrafine-grained materials. Similar to the simple shear extrusion method, this process is also based on direct extrusion, and the samples deform in a simple shear manner. In this investigation, the simulations were carried out using the commercial finite element code ABAQU...

Pseudoelastic Deformation of CuAlMn Single Crystals

Martensitic transformation associated with a tensile deformation of CuAlMn single crystals in [loo] direction was studied using in-situ transmission electron microscopy. Stress/strain curves obtained during pseudoelastic deformation of microscopic samples were slightly different fiom bulk ones due to martensite formation in the stage of stress increase and a permanent deformation during the fir...
