The control of interfaces in engineered nanostructured materials has met limited success compared with that which has evolved in natural materials, where hierarchical structures with distinct ...

As light as possible and as strong as possible at the same time. These are the requirements for modern lightweight materials, such as those used in aircraft construction and the automotive industry. A ...

• AHSS steels have both high strength and good formability. • A mixture of microstructures gives AHSS their properties. • Designers should aim for structural efficiency, thin plates, and strong joints ...

When contemplating the use of perforated metal, the ability to offer a preferred level of strength can be very significant. If it is known that perforated metal is not as robust as non-perforated ...
