β¦ Synopsis
The second nearest-neighbor modified embedded atom method (2NN-MEAM) is used to calculate the generalized planar fault (GPF) energies of the fcc metals Al, Ni and Cu. In this method, the twinning tendency is consistent in the criteria of the Ξ³ sf and Ξ³ usf /Ξ³ utf values, that is, deformation twinning is most preferable in Cu and rarely seen in Al. While full dislocation is easy to be observed in Al for its lowest Ξ³ sf /Ξ³ usf and highest Ξ³ usf /Ξ³ utf values. Even in nanomaterials, the relatively low Ξ³ usf /Ξ³ utf value can be the reason for a more rigorous condition in Al to create a twin than Cu, which is also evidenced in experiments. The GPF energy increases with vertical expansion and the magnitude of the increase is determined by Young's modulus of the metal to a certain extent.

The relationship is examined between the microstructure and the strength of ultrafine-grained fcc metals (Al, Al-Mg alloys, Cu and Ni) processed by severe plastic deformation. The saturation value of the yield strength obtained at high strains is correlated with the dislocation density by using the
The upgraded Estrin-TΓ³th dislocation model has been suggested to describe deformation behavior of materials, subjected to severe plastic deformation, which in its turn is realized under high imposed pressure of several GPa. The model was applied to study high pressure torsion of Cu samples. The disl
This paper is an attempt to discuss the relevance of the physical concepts used to describe the plastic flow behaviour of a wide class of nanograined metallic polycrystals, by critically analyzing recent experimental observations on nanograined Ni and Cu. The paper focuses on the description of the
