Influence of crystal structure on size dependent deformation behavior and strain heterogeneity in micro-scale deformation

Crystal structure determines the distinct deformation mode of crystalline materials and thus plays a critical role in micro-scale deformation. The micro-deformation mechanism at grain level, however, is still not well understood and the knowledge of how crystal structure affects size effect and its affected deformation behaviors in micro-scale deformation is not yet systematic and extensive enough to support micro-manufacturing and microproduct...
