Competing failure mechanisms of thin metal films on polymer substrates under tension
Abstract The ductility of thin metal films on polymer substrates reported in recent experiments has a huge disparity, ranging from less than 1 % up to more than 50 %. To reveal the underpinning origins for such a large variation, this paper reports...

Influence of precipitation on the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect in Al-Mg alloys
Abstract In the alloy with solute content higher than the limiting solubility, the solute atoms that have failed to dissolve will precipitate from the solid solution and form precipitations. In this study, the Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) effects in...
