The size-dependent composite-like model of internal stresses in heterogeneous microstructures of Sedláček & Forest (2000) was used to explain the fluctuations of internal stresses in dislocation cell structures measured recently by Levine et al. (2006), and to predict the systematic dependence of these stresses upon the cell size.
