MECHANICAL SIZE EFFECTS

1. statistical, due to material strength randomness, likelihood of a critical flaw occurring in a high-stress location, and increasing volume increasing the probability of a serious flaw.

2. energetic (and non-statistical), due to energy release when a large crack or a large fracture process zone (FPZ) containing damaged material develops before the maximum load is reached.

NANOSCALE DEFORMATION MECHANISMS

Clarifying these aspects at the nanoscale is crucial for understanding the formation of workpiece surface damage after material removal operations.

MANAGEMENT OF RESEARCH DATA IN MATERIALS SCIENCE

Properly managed data and research outputs save time, money, and effort.

MACHINE LEARNING APPLICATIONS

Machine learning is a buzzword for today's technology, and it is growing very rapidly day by day. We are using machine learning in our daily life even without knowing
