Decoupling Strain-Rate Sensitivity and Deformation Length Scale Effects in Neutron-Irradiated Tungsten: A Coupled Nano-Indentation, HR-EBSD and Crystal Plasticity Study

Prashil S. Joshi, Bethany Jim, Chris Hardie +3

Plastic deformation during strain-rate-controlled spherical nanoindentation is governed by the coupled evolution of constitutive strain-rate sensitivity and deformation length scal…
