摘要

In this special issue of IJTAMM, state-of-the-art research is published. The research tackles various aspects of solid mechanics. The special issue is composed of five different research papers. In one article, the importance of underlying porosity on the mechanical properties of a solid material is investigated. In another, the effect of free surfaces on the yield strength of metallic materials has been studied. In a third, the fatigue of additively manufactured Inconel is studied using crystal plasticity modelling. In a fourth, a multi-scale study of a polycrystalline microstructure has been modelled numerically. In the last and fifth one, a multi-scale study of shocked aluminium using the discrete dislocation dynamics approach has been performed.
