Chapter 67: Crystal Plasticity with Hall-Petch Effect

This example problem presents two crystal plasticity simulations, one demonstrating the Hall-Petch effect with decreasing average grain sizes, the other showing two methods for applying initial hardness.

The following features and capabilities are highlighted:

Crystal plasticity material model
Using a spatially nonuniform distribution of initial hardness
SOLID185 3D 8-node hexahedral structural solid element
