Figures & data
Figure 1. The three deformation stages of heterogeneous materials (the red stress–strain curve).
Figure 2. A 4-µm soft grain surrounded by a hard ultrafine-grained matrix in heterogeneous lamella Ti. Dislocation pile-ups are marked by green lines.
Figure 3. (A) Schematics of the piling-up of geometrically necessary dislocations. (B) Plastic strain and strain gradient as a function of distance from the domain interface. (C) The effective stress (= applied stress − back-stress) as a function of distance from the domain interface.
Figure 4. Schematics of lamella structure with elongated soft coarse-grained domains embedded in an ultrafine-grained matrix.
