Shear deformation of amorphous and nanocrystalline copper microstructures via atomistic simulation

Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2007. === Includes bibliographical references (p. 24). === In the well-known Hall-Petch behavior, yield and flow stresses in polycrystalline metals increase with a decrease in grain size. As grain size continues t...
