By combining finite element analysis, compressive tests, reverse tensile tests, in-situ electron-backscattering diffraction, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, we investigate systematically twinning and detwinning behaviors of {101¯2} twins in pre-compressed pure Mg and AZ31 and A...
