Elastic constants of purity and containing impurity metal aluminum were calculated, and the effects of impurity on the elastic constants were also studied. The effect of particle on micro-stress concentration and debonded stress of inclusion was researched. The mechanical relationship between the grains was defined by relationship of displacement and driving force in cohesion zone model (CZM).The method can be extended to research mechanical properties of other metals and alloys structures.

Multilayer metal composites have great application prospects in automobiles, ships, aircraft and other manufacturing industries, which reveal their superior strength, toughness, ductility, fatigue lifetime, superplasticity and formability. This paper presents the various mechanical properties, deformation characteristics and strengthening–toughening mechanisms of laminated metal matrix composites during the loading and deformation process, and that super-high mechanical properties can be obtained by adjusting the fabrication process and structure parameters. In the macroscale, the interface bonding status and layer thickness can effectively affect the fracture, impact toughness and tensile fracture elongation of laminated metal matrix composites, and the ductility and toughness cannot be fitting to the rule of mixture (ROM). However, the elastic properties, yield strength and ultimate strength basically follow the rule of mixture. In the microscale, the mechanical properties, deformation characteristics, fracture behavior and toughening mechanisms of laminated composites reveal the obvious size effect.

During a distinguished career, John Wyrill (‘Jack') Christian had a profound impact on the subject of materials science, particularly physical metallurgy. He was recognized as a world authority on martensitic transformations, and laid the foundations forthe modern understanding of this topic. His monumental two–volume work, The theory of phase transformations in metals and alloys , is the classic authoritative treatise on the subject, and remains one of the most important texts ever published in the area of materials science. It redefined the whole field of phase transformations, set new standards of intellectual rigour and comprehensiveness, and inspired successive generations ofscientists to follow in his footsteps. He was also a pioneer in the study of the mechanical properties of metals and alloys, particularly those having the body–centred cubic structure. He and his students played a key role in establishing that the low–temperature mechanical properties ofthis important class of metals are controlled by intrinsic dislocation–lattice interactions and not by impurity effects. He contributed tothe study of many other topics in materials science, including the structure of interfaces, the mechanism of deformation twinning, and the properties of stacking faults. He was the recipient of numerous national and international awards for his work. His researches, which were always characterized by precision and deep physical insight, have stood the test of time.

The dislocation substructure that appears in deformed metals and alloys have been extensively investigated in the past by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). They are known to form a broad variety of microstructures. These substructures are characterized by three main parameters, namely the density of the dislocations that are trapped in the tangles, their degree of patterning and the misorientation between the cells. The aim of the present work is to investigate the relationship between these features and the mechanical properties of the material.

In cold regions, the deformation characteristics and long-term mechanical properties of rocks under low-temperature conditions are considerably different from those in other regions. To study the deformation characteristics and long-term mechanical properties of rocks in a low-temperature environment and the effect of different temperatures, we perform a multilevel loading-unloading uniaxial creep test on red sandstone samples and obtain the creep curves at different temperatures (20°C, −10°C, and −20°C). The results demonstrate that the total strain at each temperature can be divided into instantaneous and creep strains; the instantaneous strain includes instantaneous elastic and plastic strains, and the creep strain includes viscoelastic and viscoplastic strains. Temperature has a significant effect on the deformation properties of red sandstone. A decrease in temperature reduces the instantaneous and creep deformations of the rocks at all levels of stress. In addition, a decrease in temperature exponentially attenuates the total creep and viscoplastic strains of the rocks. 0°C is a critical point for the reduction of the total creep and viscoplastic strains of the rocks. When the temperature is greater than 0°C, the total creep and viscoplastic strains of the rocks decrease rapidly and linearly with decrease in temperature; however, when the temperature is less than 0°C, the decrease in the total creep and viscoplastic strains of the rocks is slow. The steady-state creep rate of the rock samples decreases with decrease in temperature, whereas the creep duration increases with decrease in temperature, especially in the case of the accelerated creep stage. The accelerated creep durations of the rock samples S4 (20°C) and S7 (–10°C) are 0.07 h and 0.23 h, respectively.
