Classical Hall–Petchslope compared withMeyers–Ashworth equation andcomputations assuming agrain-boundary region and graininterior with differentwork-hardening curves. As grainsize is decreased, grain-boundaryregion gradually dominates thedeformation process. (From H.-H.Fu, D. J. Benson, and M. A. Meyers,Acta Mater., 49 (2001) 2567.)
