Fundamentals and advances in magnesium alloy corrosion
Mohsen Esmaily,Jan-Erik Svensson,S. Fajardo,S. Fajardo,Nick Birbilis,Gerald S. Frankel,Sannakaisa Virtanen,Raul Arrabal,Sebastian Thomas,Lars-Gunnar Johansson +9 more
TL;DR: There remains growing interest in magnesium (Mg) and its alloys, as they are the lightest structural metallic materials Mg alloys have the potential to enable design of lighter engineered systems, including positive implications for reduced energy consumption as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanically alloyed nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent advances in the synthesis and properties of nanocomposites obtained by mechanical alloying has been presented, including metal-based and ceramic-based composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Residual stress and its role in failure
TL;DR: In this article, the origins of residual stress are understood, opportunities for removing harmful or introducing beneficial residual stresses recognized, their evolution in-service predicted, their influence on failure processes understood and safe structural integrity assessments made, so as to either remove the part prior to failure, or to take corrective action to extend life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Nanoparticle‐Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites with Enhanced Mechanical Properties
TL;DR: In this article, the state-of-the-art processing methods, structures and mechanical properties of the metal matrix composites reinforced with ceramic nanoparticles are summarized and reviewed, showing that in-situ nanocomposites with very low loading levels of nanoparticles exhibit higher yield strength and creep resistance than their microcomposite counterparts filled with much higher particulate content.

The Elastic and Thermo-elastic Properties of Composite Media
TL;DR: In this article, the gross bulk and shear moduli of a composite material consisting of a suspension of grains or a compact of grains are derived from an analysis of the dilatation and bulk stress for average spherical grains when the composite as a whole is subjected to some small temperature change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal Expansion Coefficients of Composite Materials Based on Energy Principles
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived bounds on effective thermal expansion coefficients of isotropic and anisotropic composite materials consisting of isotropy phases by employing extremum principles of thermoelasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dislocation generation due to differences between the coefficients of thermal expansion
R.J. Arsenault,N. Shi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model based on prismatic punching was developed to account for the relative dislocation density due to the differential thermal contraction, and an in situ transmission electron microscopy investigation was undertaken of dislocation generation at the inclusions due to thermal contraction.
Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental and numerical study of deformation in metal-ceramic composites
TL;DR: In this article, the deformation characteristics of ceramic whisker- and particulate-reinforced metal-matrix composites were studied experimentally and numerically with the objective of investigating the dependence of tensile properties on the matrix microstructure and on the size, shape, and distribution of the reinforcement phase.
