• Grain-size Induced Strengthening and Weakening of Dislocation-free Polycrystalline Gas Hydrates 

      Wu, Jianyang; Skallerud, Bjørn Helge; He, Jianying; Zhang, Zhiliang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Sediment-hosted gas hydrates have profound impacts on global energy sources and climate change. Their mechanical properties play a crucial role in gas recovery and understanding their evolution in nature, however, the ...
    • Size-dependent Phase Transformation and Fracture of ZnO Nanowires 

      He, Jianying; Wu, Jianyang; Nagao, Shijo; qiao, lijie; Zhang, Zhiliang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The structural and mechanical properties of ZnO nanowires (NWs) have been systematically investigated by using molecular dynamic simulations based on the empirical Buckingham potential. Under tensile loading in <0001> ...
