Plasticity in small-sized metallic systems: Intrinsic versus extrinsic size effect
JR Greer, JTM De Hosson - Progress in Materials Science, 2011 - Elsevier
A material strength depends on its microstructure, which in turn, is controlled by an
engineering process. Strengthening mechanisms like work hardening, precipitate, and grain …
