The Publisher has retracted the following article from the Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance at the request of the Editor-in-Chief, following an investigation that revealed extensive duplication of previous publications.

M. Grujicic, J.S. Snipes and S. Ramawami, “Multi-Length Scale Analysis of the Effect of the Fused-Silica Pre-shocking on its Tendency for Devitrification,” J. Mater. Eng. Perform. (2016), 25, 995–1009.

This publication is a copy of M. Grujicic, J.S. Snipes and S. Ramawami, “The effect of fused-silica pre-shocking on its devitrification propensity and ballistic resistance: an all-atom molecular-level analysis,” J. Mater. Sci. Perform. (2016), 51, 3500–3512.
