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