Mechanical integrity of coated PcBN systems: mechanics and mechanisms involved under service-like conditions

Gordon Pozuelo, Sandra (Date of defense: 2024-05-10)

(English) Polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PcBN) is a composite competitive cutting tool material that excels performance when machining difficult-to-cut materials (e.g. hardened steels, superalloys, etc) due to its ...

A molecular dynamics study of nanocontact plasticity and dislocation avalanches in FCC and BCC crystals

Varillas, Javier (Date of defense: 2019-06-17)

This study aims to investigate the underlying mechanisms which govern the development of dense defect networks in nanoscale crystal plasticity, either under contact and uniaxial loading conditions, with emphasis on the ...
