Continuum modeling of dislocation starvation and subsequent nucleation in nano-pillar compressions

The mechanical behavior of single crystalline aluminum nano-pillars under uniaxial compression differs from bulk Al in that the former is characterized by a smoother transition from elasticity to plasticity. We propose an extension of the phenomenological model of dislocation starvation originally p...
