... equations to have both energetic and dissipative gradient length scales. The derived constitutive model is calibrated against the experimental data of bulge test conducted on thin films. strain-gradient plasticity size effect heat generation due to plastic work The conventional continuum...

... deformation in Si at low temperatures recently attracts much attention as one of size effect phenomena. In this study, however, even sub-100 nm-sized Si NW did not show plastic deformation at RT. The slope of the stress–strain relation was calculated to be 98.2 GPa, which was approximately only 58.0...

... on atoms, dose, dose rate, and radiation temperature [ 14–16 ]. At elevated temperature, the density of defects can be decreased by two orders of magnitudes observed in various systems. radiation damage metallic multilayers size effect radiation hardening He bubbles We review He ion...

..., is employed to investigate the size effect of elliptical inclusions with different aspect ratios based on unit cell simulations. It is shown that by decreasing the particle size or equivalently the interparticle spacing (i.e., the spacing between the centers of inclusions), while keeping the volume fraction...

... of confined small metallic volumes. It is postulated that the interfacial energy decreases as temperature increases such that size effect decreases as temperature increases. As an application, the size effect of thermal loading of a film-substrate system is investigated. It is shown that the temperature...
