Dual-mixed finite element analysis of crystalline sub-micron gold

Abstract

An extended crystal plasticity model is applied to crystalline sub-micron gold in order to study the mechanical response. Numerical results for different crystal sizes are presented and discussed. The governing equations are discretized and, subsequently, solved via a dual-mixed finite element formulation [1, 2]. The evolution equation of the dislocation density is taken as a global field relation additionally to the balance of linear momentum, whereas the flow rule is solved locally at the Gauß point level [3,4].
