Constraining the parameter space of comet simulation experiments [PDF]
Our interpretation of the data returned by Rosetta and other cometary missions is based on the predictions of theoretical models and the results of laboratory experiments. For example, Kossacki et al. (2015) showed that 67P's surface hardness reported by

Model for the hardness-depth relationships of ion-irradiated nanocrystalline metals
In this work, a mechanistic model is proposed for ion-irradiated nanocrystalline (NC) metals to characterize the evolution of hardness as a function of the indentation depth at room temperature and under quasi-static loading condition. At the grain level,

Solute effects on edge dislocation pinning in complex alpha-Fe alloys [PDF]
Reactor pressure vessel steels are well-known to harden and embrittle under neutron irradiation, mainly because of the formation of obstacles to the motion of dislocations, in particular, precipitates and clusters composed of Cu, Ni, Mn, Si and P.

The effect of high-pressure torsion on irradiation hardening of Eurofer-97
We investigate the effect of nano-structuring by high-pressure torsion (HPT) on the irradiation performance of Eurofer-97. Material was deformed to shear strains from 0 to ∼230, and then exposed to Fe3+ irradiation doses of 0.01 and 0.1 displacements-per-
