摘要
In this paper we consider grain boundary sliding as a dominant mechanism of plasticity in nanocrystalline metals. A mechanical model for barrier resistance to sliding has been proposed. Characteristic time of plastic relaxation due to grain boundary sliding has been estimated based on molecular dynamics simulation data. At quasi-static deformation yield strength is determined by barrier resistance, and the predicted threshold stresses are in good agreement with experimental data.
