Geometrically Necessary Dislocations • Accumulation of dislocations during plastic flow is responsible plastic hardening. • Size effect is attributed to the accumulation of Geometrically necessary dislocations(GNDs) . Strain Gradient Plasticity
Density of GNDs • In case of an uniform strain distribution no GNDs are necessary. • For a uniform shear the displacement field is given by – u1 = kx2 , u2 = u3 = 0 • The number of dislocation slipping in each block is same. Strain Gradient Plasticity
Density of GNDs • Slip distance in the first cell : • No of GNDs at the boundary : n1b n1 n2 δx2 δx1 Strain Gradient Plasticity
