Size effects in multi-scale materials processing and manufacturing

Size effects (SEs) exist in many domains, and are caused by changes in the values of parameters of materials, structures, or systems individually or collectively known as size effect factors. SEs induce a variety of scale-dependent behaviours, phenomena, and performances during the multiscale processing and manufacturing of materials, such as the macro-, meso-, and microscale ones examined by the researches described in this paper.
