SubgrainStrength#

Source: models/solid_mechanics/crystal_plasticity/SubgrainStrength.py

Strength contribution of a subgrain structure, defined by \(\tau = \alpha \dfrac{\mu b}{\lambda}\) where \(\lambda\) is the subgrain size, \(\alpha\) is an interaction coefficient, \(\mu\) is the shear modulus and \(b\) is the Burgers vector.

The output is a single strength contribution, intended to be combined with the other contributions through a ScalarLinearCombination.
