Abstract:A small-deformation strain gradient plasticity (GP) model for single-crystals has been proposed in [1], including a grain boundary (GB) yield condition without hardening. It has been extended by a hardening term for the GBs after a comparison to discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) results in [2]. Differences between the strain gradients of the GP results and the DDD results motivate the consideration of a non-quadratic defect energy [3] in the GP model. It is shown that the gradients in the GP model can be imp… Show more
