Query regarding grain size effect

[sushdash]

Hii!
Just one small query. Is Hall-Petch concept incorporated in this software package? I am trying to deform gradient microstructures, so will FEpX be efficient in manifesting the desired mechanical behavior?

No, there is no inherent length scale or grain size effect in FEPX (see https://github.com/acmelab-ua/FEPX/discussions/47#discussioncomment-1545028).

Hii!
Thank you for responding.
Actually, I want to incorporate Hall-Petch into the code, so can you please guide me through the same? Like, where should I make the changes?

Hi @sushdash - are you interested in submitting a contribution to the code? Please email me at [email protected] and I will discuss where code changes need to take place to institute Hall-Petch style strengthening to FEPX.

Hii!
Yeah, I will be mailing you the required information.
