Bulk nanostructured (NS) materials have emerged as a new class of materials having unusual structures and properties. As a result, they have attracted considerable attention in recent years. Bulk NS materials are single or multi-phase polycrystals with a nanoscale grain size and can usually be classified into nanocrystalline (<100nm) and ultrafine grain (<1000nm) materials. This book contains important papers on the mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of bulk NS materials. The advanced properties include strength, ductility, strain-hardening, fatigue, dynamic, creep and toughness, etc. These properties are important for the ultimate structural applications of bulk NS materials. The mechanical properties of these materials are determined by their specific deformation mechanisms (such as boundary-dominated deformation) due to the very small grain size in comparison with coarse-grained counterparts. The 20 invited papers is divided between two chapters: I. Advanced Mechanical Properties of Nanostructured Materials - II. Deformation Mechanisms of Bulk Nanostructured Materials. This work should be read by all of those wishing to improve mechanical properties without having to consider entirely new alloys.

Description: This special issue of “Solid State Phenomena” documents some novel experimental and theoretical approaches applied to fascinating materials. Motivated by the increasing need to synthesize and understand the properties of technologically important materials, this issue represents an important step forward in improving our understanding of how modern materials can be optimised for technology and industry. The issue comprises 9 original review papers covering experimental approaches and theoretical modeling. The contributions will be very useful to researchers working in various areas of CMP and will contribute significantly to the understanding of rapidly developing materials with regard to their synthesis, characterization and properties.

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.
