Figure 2
Contour maps of nodal stresses (clockwise from top left) σ11, σ12, σ33 and σ22 with node position for a meso-scale volume containing seven anisotropic Cu grains. These were obtained from FEM analysis (Section 4[link]) when the polycrystalline mesh shown in Fig. 1[link](a) was subjected to uniform (isotropic) biaxial far-field stresses. Averaging these local stress tensors over individual grains, or over this meso-domain, did not eliminate Heyn stresses; the stress distributions in element, grain and meso-domain volumes were not isotropic in the slab plane.
