The Investigation of Plastic Behavior by Discrete Dislocation Dynamics for Single Crystal Pillar at Submicron Scale

Part of the book series: Springer Theses ((Springer Theses))

  • 536 Accesses

Abstract

Over the past decade, submicron crystals with characteristic size ranging from several hundred nanometers to several micrometers have attracted continuous interest. Their unique particular properties make them exhibit great promise for applications in microdevices and small-scale structures. At the same time, their untypical mechanical behaviors, such as size effect and intermittent plasticity, challenge the applicability of conventional plasticity model to submicron scale. In this chapter, the relevant experimental, numerical and theoretical studies on submicron single crystal plasticity are reviewed.
