The effects of size, temperature and strain-rate on the mechanical properties of face-centered cubic metals

Drawn and annealed copper wires of diameters ranging from 50 μ to 900 μ were tested in tension and the results examined for evidence of size-effects. No size-effect on yield-stress or work-hardening rate has been definitely established. The results were discussed in terms of the fraction of the numb...
