Abstract
Abstract Severely plastically deformed microstructures of pure copper were produced by subjecting cylindrical copper samples to high-pressure torsion. The effects of this procedure on introducing gradient microstructure and subsequent mechanical behavior were investigated by utilizing electron backscatter diffraction and performing Vickers hardness/tensile testing. A crystal plasticity-continuum dislocation dynamics modeling effort was performed to predict the mechanical performance of these samples. The model includes mechanisms based on the gradient of dislocation density and grain size, back stress fields of grain boundaries, dislocation density transmission across grain boundaries, and stress/strain gradient effects.
