Gradient plasticity used for modeling extrinsic and intrinsic size effects in the torsion of Au microwires

The gradient plasticity theory proposed by Aifantis and coworkers has been successfully used to model size effect phenomena at the microscale and nanoscale, by introducing into the formulation an internal length scale associated with the phenomenological coefficients of the gradient plasticity model...
