Deformation, fracture and fatigue are important mechanical phenomena in both metals processing and use. The role of dislocations in and the effects of microstructural features on the plastic ...

Elastic deformation continues until the yield stress of the material if it is ductile, after which the material plastically deforms. A brittle material fractures before any plastic deformation occurs ...

A record-breaking deep earthquake registered in May 2015 offshore of Japan likely was not a tectonic event but triggered by a ...

The tensile behavior of composites is also different from that of metals in the 'plastic deformation' region of the stress/strain curve. The diagram shows the curve for a uniaxial sample tested along ...

The magnitude 7.9 Bonin Islands earthquake sequence, which ruptured deep within the earth near the base of the upper mantle, did not include an aftershock that extended to record depths into the lower ...
