Gradient plasticity with interface energy can capture numerous phenomena at the micro and nanoscale such as the inverse Hall-Petch, and the stochasticity observed in the stress-strain response of micropillars. The physical nature of the interface energy however remains vague and limited studies have been performed to understand its relationship to other material properties. The present talk will discuss how simulations can be used to relate the interface parameter to the internal length, which is another key parameter in gradient theories.
