Size effects in elastic-plastic functionally graded materials

We develop a strain gradient plasticity formulation for composite materials with spatially varying volume fractions to characterize size effects in functionally graded materials (FGMs). The model is grounded on the mechanism-based strain gradient plasticity theory and effective properties are determ...
