Abstract

A novel experimental configuration is devised to measure the evolution of the deformation field and the corresponding hardening evolution within soft metallic films constrained by hard layers. The experimental configuration provides pure shear state within the constrained film. The material system utilized comprised ductile layer of tin based solder, encapsulated within relatively hard copper shoulders. Different tin-lead compositions are tested with grain size approaching the film thickness. The in-plane strain distribution within the film layer is measured by a microscopic digital image correlation system. The hardening evolution within such highly gradient deformation field is monitored qualitatively through a 2D surface scan with a nanoindentor. The measurements showed a highly inhomogeneous deformation field within the film with discreet shear bands of concentrated strain. The localized shear bands showed long-range correlations of the order of 3-4 the grain size. A size-dependent macroscopic response on the layer thickness is observed. However, the corresponding film thickness is approximately 100-1000 times larger than those predicted by non-local continuum theories and discrete dislocation.
