✦ Synopsis

We propose a composite model to explain the phenomena of strength softening with decreasing the grain size, which was reported in some nanocrystalline (nc) materials. We assume that a nc material consists of a grain interior and an amorphous grain-boundary layer. The grain interior deforms elastically under external stresses, while the plastic deformation of the grain-boundary layer was governed by a Maxwell's equation. Based on this model, it will be shown that the strength of a nc material decreases linearly with decreasing the grain size, when the grain size is below a certain threshold. The model is compared with the experimental data from the published studies on nc Cu and Ni. The predictions of relevant creep mechanisms for nc materials are also discussed.

An inverse Hall-Petch effect has been observed for nanocrystalline materials by a large number of researchers. This effect implies that nanocrystalline materials get softer as grain size is reduced below a critical value. Postulated explanations for this behavior include dislocation-based models, di

We have used a high-energy ball mill to prepare single-phased nanocrystalline Fe, Fe 90 Ni 10 , Fe 85 Al 4 Si 11 , Ni 99 Fe 1 and Ni 90 Fe 10 powders. We then increased their grain sizes by annealing. We found that a low-temperature anneal (T < 0.4 T m ) softens the elemental nanocrystalline Fe but

A model is presented where the properties of ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials are explained in terms of the influence of high-angle boundaries on the rates at which dislocations are stored and recovered at the boundaries. The model reproduces the experimental observations that UFG materials reach a

Discrete models are constructed for a non-uniform cantilever beam by using eigendata. While the classical inverse vibration problem for the vibratory beam determines a model from eigenvalues corresponding to various end conditions, the constructions here are mainly based on eigenvector data. It is s
