Size-dependent crystal plasticity: From micro-pillar compression to bending

Digital/virtual microstructures in application to metals engineering – A review

“…14. Application of the CP framework to numerical simulation of a micro-pillar compression test have been widely investigated in [85,86]. As mentioned, the CP is a solution providing wider range of predictive capabilities including information on texture evolution what is often of importance for industrial applications.…”

Mechanical properties of BaCe0.65Zr0.2Y0.15O3- proton-conducting material determined using different nanoindentation methods

“…Compared to the conventional Vickers-indentation-based fracture toughness test method (VIF) and other currently available microscale mechanical testing methods, e.g., single and double cantilever testing [31], the micro-pillar test method offers several advantages including its ease of application. Note, post-test measurement of the crack length, a factor that is critical for VIF and highly dependent on the image acquisition, is not necessary [32,33]. Any potential residual stress, that might be induced by stoichiometric gradients or differences in thermal expansion in the case of a thin film on a substrate, is fully released and do not affect the test if the pillars have an aspect ratio of height to diameter between 1 and 4 [34].…”

Modelling strain localization in Ti–6Al–4V at high loading rate: a phenomenological approach

“…The validity of the parameters should be tested once more experimental results, potentially under complex loading states, are available. A modelling approach, described in [25], may be attempted once relevant experimental data are available. We leave this as a future work.…”
