Guidelines for Constructing Strain Gradient Plasticity Theories
Issues related to the construction of continuum theories of strain gradient plasticity which have emerged in recent years are reviewed and brought to bear on the formulation of the most basic theories. Elastic loading gaps which can arise at initial yield or under imposition of non-proportional incremental boundary conditions are documented and analytical methods for dealing with them are illus...
متن کاملA critical assessment of theories of strain gradient plasticity
Theories to extend plasticity to the micron scale have been in existence for over a decade, complemented by a growing body of experimental data. Here, materials and mechanics aspects of two prominent strain gradient theories of plasticity, due to Nix and Gao and to Fleck and Hutchinson, are assessed within the context of simple bending. Differences between the theories are highlighted. The theo...
متن کاملComputational Implementation of Cosserat Based Strain Gradient Plasticity Theories
The current trend in microelectronics towards miniaturization has pushed for an interest in theories intended to explain the behavior of materials at small scales. In particular, an increase in yield strength with decreasing size has been experimentally observed in several materials and under different loading conditions. A class of non-classical continuum mechanics theories has been recently e...
متن کاملNonlinear Numerical Integration Scheme in Strain Space Plasticity
Strains are applied to the integration procedure in nonlinear increments todecrease the errors arising from the linearization of plastic equations. Two deformationvectors are used to achieve this. The first vector is based on the deformations obtained bythe first iteration of the equilibrium step, and the second is acquired from the sum of thesucceeding iterations. By applying these vectors and...
متن کاملSize effect and asymptotic matching approximations in strain-gradient theories of micro-scale plasticity
To explain the size effect found in the testing of plastic behavior of metals on the micrometer scale, four theories of strain-gradient plasticity, representing generalizations of the deformation theory of plasticity, have been developed since 1993––the pioneering original theory of Fleck and Hutchinson in two subsequent versions, the mechanism-based strain-gradient (MSG) plasticity of Gao and ...
