Strain Gradient Plasticity: An Application to Plastic Flow Localization Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, strain gradient plasticity theory is extended to include the corner-like effect that is inherent in crystal plasticity. The predictive feature of the extended theory is examined via finite element analysis of a constrained simple shear problem and a plane-strain tension problem involving plastic flow localization. Numerical issues with respect to finite element formulations are also discussed.
