  1. nanoHUB Materials Simulation Homework: Engineering the Yield Stress of a Material by Controlling Grain Size

    26 Feb 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Marisol Koslowski, Tanya Faltens

    This homework assignment uses the nanoplasticity lab simulation tool to enable students to explore how grain size and the competing plastic deformation mechanisms of dislocation motion and grain boundary sliding affect the yield stress of a sample.  Students create conditions that lead to...
