Modelling and simulation of plastic deformation on small scales : interface conditions and size effects of thin films

Contrary to elastic deformation, plastic deformation of crystalline materials, such as metals, is size-dependent. Most commonly, this phenomenon is present but unnoticed, such as the effect of microstructural length scales. The grain size in metallic materials is a length scale that affects material...
