Abstract

Macroscopic mechanical response of metal polycrystal with mean grain diameter of 0.2 to 5 microns are simulated by a strain gradient crystal plasticity software code which incorporates some phenomenological models for dislocation accumulation and annihilation, as well as dislocation-grain boundary interactions. Obtained results of macroscopic stress-strain relation show significant increase of yield stress and strain hardening ratio for fine grained specimens.
