Experiments and finite element modelling have been used to explore a method for miniaturising fibre push-out testing
to the scale of thin ion irradiated layers. Correlation of interfacial surface area to debond stress has been identified for
short fibres, and is related to a size effect following a Weibull distribution. Weibull analysis may be us…
This research utilizes established cyclic deformation models to simulate the Bauschinger effect observed
in copper monocrystal cantilever experiments during the initial bending and straightening phases. Crystal
plasticity finite element simulations employing Armstrong-Frederick, Orowan-Sleeswyk, and various other
backstress models have failed to…
