"The mechanical behavior of Metallic Nanolayered Composites (MNCs) is governed by their underlying microstructure. In this dissertation, the roles of the interl

The goal of this thesis is to understand the interaction between dislocations and various metallic interfaces in nanoscale metallic multilayers (NMM). At lower

The objective of this research is to investigate the deformation behaviors of two types of NMMs at lower length scales: 1) One dimensional Cu-Ni, Au-Ni nanowire

A novel interatomic potential of ternary Al-TiN has been developed to study the deformation behavior of Al-TiN nanolaminates. The ternary nanolayered Al-TiN com

We developed here fundamental models of plasticity, based on dislocation dynamics and atomistic computer simulation methods for the prediction of the strength a
