Stochastic twinning in confined volumes of Mg: Insights from in-situ micromechanical testing and atomistic simulations

Hexin Wang, Fatim Zahra Mouhib, Chunhua Tian +6

Tensile twinning plays a central role in accommodating <c>-axis plasticity in Mg. In bulk Mg, twinning typically shows a relatively deterministic response with a low critical stres…
