Modelling size effects on void growth and coalescence in single crystals

Abstract eng:
In this work, a single crystal strain gradient plasticity model is derived at finite strains. The gradient enhancement is based on a scalar strain measure of plastic slip of single crystals. It is implemented in the finite element code Zset and then used to investigate size effects on void growth and coalescence in single crystals. 3D unit cell finite element simulations are performed and the results are compared with those obtained with classical single crystal plasticity model.
