Tensile experiments have been performed on aggregates of equiaxed and randomly oriented ice Ih of varying grain size (1.4 to 7.9 mm) at −10°C at two strain rates, 10−3 s−1 and 10−7 s−1. At both rates, which were held constant using “feed-back” control, the tensile strength decreased with increasing grain size. This result confirms earlier work on grain size effects in which the rate randomly varied (from 0.6 × 10−6 s−1 to 3 × 10−6 s−1) from test to test. At the higher rate the ice is brittle over the complete range of grain size and its strength is given by the relationship σf = σo + kd−1/2 where σo = 0.51 MPa and k = 0.03 MPa m1/2. At the lower rate the ice is ductile over the same range of grain size and its strength is given by the relationship σf = Kd−1/2 where K = 0.050 MPa m1/2. These effects are explained quantitatively in terms of the nucleation and propagation of cracks.

Application of microforming in various research areas has received much attention due to the increased demand for miniature metallic parts that require mass production. For the accurate analysis and design of microforming process, proper modeling of material behavior at the micro/meso-scale is necessary by considering the size effects. Two size effects are known to exist in metallic materials. One is the “grain size” effect, and the other is the “feature/specimen size” effect. This study investigated the “feature/specimen size” effect and introduced a scaling model which combined both feature/specimen and grain size effects. Predicted size effects were compared with experiments obtained from previous research and showed a very good agreement. The model was also applied to forming of micro-features by coining. A flow stress model for Type 304 stainless steel taking into consideration the effect of the grain and feature size was developed and implemented into a finite element simulation tool for an accurate numerical analysis. The scaling model offered a simple way to model the size effect down to length scales of a couple of grains and extended the use of continuum plasticity theories to micro/meso-length scales.
