Strain gradient plasticity theories that have emerged during recent years to provide an explanation for size dependent behavior exhibited by some materials have also created a need for additional material parameters. In this study on Pb/Sn solder alloys the material length scale, which is needed for use in strain gradient plasticity type constitutive models, is determined. The value of length scale is in agreement with values available in the literature for different materials like copper, nickel and aluminum.

In the present work a new equation to determine the internal material length scale for strain gradient plasticity theories from two independent experiments (uniaxial and nanoindentation tests) is introduced. The applicability of the presented equation is verified for conventional grained as well as for ultrafine-grained copper and brass with different amounts of prestraining. A significant decrease of the experimentally determined internal material length scale is found for increasing dislocation densities due to prestraining. Conventional mechanism strain gradient plasticity theory is used for simulating the indentation response, using experimentally determined material input data as the yield stress, the work-hardening behavior and the internal material length scale. The work-hardening behavior and the yield stress were taken from the uniaxial experiments, whereas the internal material length scale was calculated using the yield stress from the uniaxial experiment, the macroscopic hardness H0 and the length scale parameter h* following from the nanoindentation experiment. A good agreement between the measured and calculated load–displacement curve and the hardness is found independent of the material and the microstructure.

In this study, a simple size-dependent isogeometric approach for bending analysis of functionally graded (FG) microplates using the modified strain gradient theory (MSGT), simple first-order shear deformation theory (sFSDT) and isogeometric analysis is presented for the first time. The present approach reduces one variable when comparing with the original first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) within five variables and only considers three material length scale parameters (MLSPs) to capture size effects. Effective material properties as Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio and density mass are computed by a rule of mixture. Thanks to the principle of virtual work, the essential equations which are solved by the isogeometric analysis method, are derived. Rectangular and circular FG microplates with different boundary conditions, volume fraction and material length scale parameter are exampled to evaluate the deflections of FG microplates.

This paper aims to explain the size-effect in the Primary Deformation Zone (PDZ) in machining using strain gradient plasticity theory. Considering a parallel-sided shear zone configuration, models are formulated for the evaluation of strain gradient, density of geometrically necessary dislocations, shear strength and the specific shear energy. The analysis of deformation in the PDZ shows that the length of the shear plane represents the fundamental material length scale governing the size-effect. It also provides an estimate of the lower bound on the size-effect observed in the specific shear energy. The general trends predicted by the model are shown to agree well with the experimental values obtained from the literature.

The hardness of a material is generally affected by the indentation size effect. The strain gradient plasticity (SGP) theory is largely used to study this load dependence because it links the hardness to the intrinsic properties of the material. However, the characteristic scale-length is linked to the macrohardness, impeding any sound discussion. To find a relevant parameter, we suggest introducing a hardness length-scale factor that only depends on the shear modulus and the Burgers vector of the material and is easily calculable from the relation of the SGP theory. The variation of the hardness length-scale factor is thereafter used to discuss the hardness behavior of a magnetite crystal, the objective being to study the effect of the cumulative plasticity resulting from cyclic indentation. As a main result, the hardness length-scale factor is found to be constant by applying repeated cycles at a constant peak load whereas the macrohardness and the characteristic scale-length are both cycle dependent. When using incremental loads, the hardness length-scale factor monotonically decreases between two limits corresponding to those obtained at high and low loading rates, while the dwell-load duration increases. The physical meaning of such behavior is based on the modification of the dislocation network during the indentation process depending on the deformation rate.

AbstractIn this paper, a novel size-dependent functionally graded (FG) cylindrical shell model is developed based on the nonlocal strain gradient theory in conjunction with the Gurtin-Murdoch surface elasticity theory. The new model containing a nonlocal parameter, a material length scale parameter, and several surface elastic constants can capture three typical types of size effects simultaneously, which are the nonlocal stress effect, the strain gradient effect, and the surface energy effects. With the help of Hamilton’s principle and first-order shear deformation theory, the non-classical governing equations and related boundary conditions are derived. By using the proposed model, the free vibration problem of FG cylindrical nanoshells with material properties varying continuously through the thickness according to a power-law distribution is analytically solved, and the closed-form solutions for natural frequencies under various boundary conditions are obtained. After verifying the reliability of the proposed model and analytical method by comparing the degenerated results with those available in the literature, the influences of nonlocal parameter, material length scale parameter, power-law index, radius-to-thickness ratio, length-to-radius ratio, and surface effects on the vibration characteristic of functionally graded cylindrical nanoshells are examined in detail.
