Materials science shows strength

Ultra-strength materials

Recent experiments on nanostructured materials, such as nanoparticles, nanowires, nanotubes, nanopillars, thin films, and nanocrystals have revealed a host of ‘‘ultra-strength” phenomena, defined by stresses in a material component generally rising up to a significant fraction > 1 10 of its ideal strength – the highest achievable stress of a defect-free crystal at zero temperature. While conven...

Mechanics of Ultra - Strength Materials

167 Abstract Recent experiments on nanoscale materials, including nanowires, nanopillars, nanoparticles, nanolayers, and nanocrystals, have revealed a host of “ultra-strength” phenomena, defined by stresses in the material generally rising up to a significant fraction of the ideal strength—the highest achievable strength of a defect-free crystal. This article presents an overview of the strengt...
