Plastic anisotropy in pearlite
A molecular dynamics study with insights from the periodic bicrystal model
Cold-drawn pearlite wire is widely used in industry due to its exceptional high strength. Understanding the deformation mechanisms during the cold-drawing process of pearlite, particularly the deformation and decomposition of cementite, is of great significance. In this study, a

The mechanical strength of sintered nanoparticles (NPs) limits their application in advanced electronics packaging. In this study, we explore the anisotropy in the microstructure and mechanical properties of sintered copper (Cu) NPs by combining experimental techniques with molec

Extended defects such as dislocation networks and general grain boundaries are ubiquitous in metals, and accurate modeling these extensive defects is crucial to elucidate their deformation mechanisms. However, existing machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) often fall sh

Recent advances in machine learning, combined with the generation of extensive density functional theory (DFT) datasets, have enabled the development of universal machine learning interatomic potentials (uMLIPs). These models offer broad applicability across the periodic table, a

In a material under stress, grain boundaries may give rise to stress discontinuities. The stress state at grain boundaries strongly affects microscopic processes, such as diffusion and segregation, as well as failure initiation, such as fatigue, creep, and corrosion. Here the gen

Stresses at grain boundaries
The maximum incompatibility stress in an infinitely extended elastic bicrystal under uniaxial loading
In a material under stress, grain boundaries may give rise to stress discontinuities. Stress localization is crucial to materials' behavior such as segregation, precipitation, and void nucleation. Here, the stress state at a grain boundary perpendicular to a uniaxial external str
