Strain gradient effects on FCC single crystal
In the last two decades, experimental studies and numerical simulations expressed the size e�ect on
the plastic distortion of ductile materials at small scales(Micron and Sub-Micron). Several studies
have been performed on size effects on the rate of void growth using plasticity models with strain
gradient effects on models with plane strain assumption. In the present work, a finite element model
using crystal plasticity was proposed to understand the size effects on void evolution in a single
crystal by incorporating the Borg [1] crystal plasticity theory with strain gradient effects in the
Huang [2] user material subroutine developed for crystal plasticity formulations
