From Statistical Correlations to Stochasticity and Size Effects in Sub-Micron Crystal Plasticity

Metals in small volumes display a strong dependence on initial conditions, which translates into size effects and stochastic mechanical responses. In the context of crystal plasticity, this amounts to the role of pre-existing dislocation configurations that may emerge due to prior processing. Here,...
