The current research in our group, supported by CIMM, focuses on nonlocal continuum modelling and atomistic simulation ofsmall scale metal forming and pattern replication. Majorscientific issues addressed include intrinsic and extrinsic materials’ size effects relevant to sub-mm to micron scale forming and replication. The size effects in metallic samples of confined volumes are addressed during the nanoindentation and micropillar compression experiments. We are developing continuum models in metallic samples of confined volumes to capture the size effectsobserved during the atomistic simulations and microscale, in-situ, mechanical experiments.
