Modeling of the size effect in the plastic behavior of polycrystalline materials
This thesis focuses on the study of the size effect in the elastic-viscoplastic response of pure face centered cubic polycrystalline materials. First, the effect of vacancy diffusion is studied via the use of a two-phase self-consistent scheme in which the inclusion phase represents grain interiors...
