Abstract

A relay-race dislocation-disclination model of plastic shear development in nanocrystalline materials is proposed, which is based on the mechanism of switching between translational and rotational deformation modes. The dependence of the external deforming stress on the grain size is calculated. It is shown that the switching from the translational to rotational deformation mode and back explains the reverse Hall-Petch effect in nanocrystalline materials.
