Statistical aspects of microplasticity: experiments, discrete dislocation simulations and stochastic continuum models

The plastic deformation properties of microscale and nanoscale specimens differ from those of their macroscopic counterparts as the discrete nature of the elementary processes governing plastic flow becomes directly visible. In such specimens, details of the initial defect microstructure may exert a...
