| Description: | Strength and ductility are two of the most important mechanical properties of structural materials, but this usually involves a trade-off, because of the fundamental inverse proportionality of these two features. Since the 1980s, bulk nanostructured materials have emerged as a new class of material having unusual structures and, as a result, have attracted increasing attention. Unfortunately, most bulk nanostructured materials still do not evade the strength-ductility trade-off dilemma, and usually have very poor ductility. The poor ductility of bulk nanostructured materials has indeed become a seemingly insurmountable obstacle to the widespread technological application of structural bulk nanostructured materials. This special topic volume brings together fifty-eight invited papers, from twenty countries, covering a wide range of issues related to the ductility of bulk nanostructured materials. They include topics such as: deformation mechanisms, basic conceptions and reviews of ductility, ductility-structure relationships, processing and microstructural evolutions. This work provides authoritative guidance on developing strategies to improve the ductility of nanostructured materials and will permit materials designers to optimize the mechanical properties of nanostructured materials. |
