Grain size effects and weakest link theory in 3D crystal plasticity simulations of polycrystals

The weakest link theory, sometimes proposed to analyze size effects on the plastic behaviour of single crystals, is introduced in 3D numerical simulations of polycrystals. The approach relies on a random distribution of sources in space and strength associated to a crystal plasticity law with consta...
