The Stored Energy of Cold Work, Thermal Annealing, and Other Thermodynamic Issues in Single Crystal Plasticity at Small Length Scales

This paper develops a thermodynamically consistent gradient theory of single-crystal plasticity using the principle of virtual power as a paradigm to develop appropriate balance laws for forces and energy. The resulting theory leads to a system of microscopic force balances, one balance for each sli...
