Summary

This chapter introduces the origins of plastic flow at the microstructural level, explaining concepts such as crystal slip, slip systems, dislocations, and resolved shear stress that underlie macroscopic plasticity models. It bridges microscale deformation mechanisms and the continuum plasticity assumptions of isotropy and pressure independence used in engineering analyses.

Abstract This chapter briefily introduces the origins of yield and plastic flow, and in particular, attempts to explain the usual assumptions in simple continuum plasticity of isotropy, incompressibility, and independence of hydrostatic stress. While short, we introduce grains, crystal slip, slip systems, resolved shear stress, and dislocations; the minimum knowledge of microplasticity for users of continuum plasticity.
