Yy. Deryugin et al., EFFECT OF PORE CONCENTRATION ON LOCALIZED PLASTIC-DEFORMATION IN POLYCRYSTALS, Theoretical and applied fracture mechanics, 29(2), 1998, pp. 93-98
Presented is a mesomechanical model that simulates the behavior of loc
alized plastic deformation in polycrystal subjected to uniaxial load.
Edge effect and pore concentration are analyzed. Predicted results bet
ween the mechanical properties of polycrystal and pore concentration a
re inconclusive as porosity alone could not explain the increase or de
crease of polycrystal strength. The model applies to low pore concentr
ation of less than 5% and hence coalescence of pores is also neglected
