The origin of the boundary strengthening in polycrystal-inspired architected materials

Polycrystal-inspired architected materials are found to be high strength and damage tolerant. Here, the authors conduct in-depth work to unravel the mechanism responsible for the hardening phenomenon, in particular the role of polygrain-like boundary in the post-yield shear band activities.
