Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A theoretical two-dimensional (2D) model is proposed that describes the effect of grain boundary (GB) segregations on the fracture toughness of nanocrystalline or ultrafine-grained alloys. It is shown that GB segregations can lead to crack curvature, providing both crack surface roughness and crack deflection near the crack tip. Within the model, the growth of cracks along GBs under the action of a tensile load is considered. The effects of brittle GB segregations on the crack surface roughness and crack deflection near the crack tip are analyzed, and the associated increase in the fracture toughness of the material is calculated. It is shown that toughening can be achieved if segregations are very brittle and occupy a moderate proportion of GBs. In particular, a sufficiently large (up to 50%) fraction of GBs containing very brittle segregations can increase the fracture toughness by 30–35%. The results of the model can be applied to thin nanocrystalline or ultrafine-grained films.
