"Our ability to capture these processes at atomic and nanometer scales provides new insight into collective dislocation motion and microscopic deformation instability in advanced structural ...

University of California, Irvine scientists have expanded on a longstanding model governing the mechanics behind slip banding, a process that produces strain marks in metals under compression, gaining ...

A rubber band undergoes elastic deformation when stretched a little. A metal drinks can undergoes plastic deformation when it is squashed.
