k: k (MPa√mm)
d: d (mm)
sy: Hall–Petch (MPa)

Lecture brief

Historical brief

Hooke (1678), Hall–Petch grain size, Arrhenius activation and Paris fatigue-crack growth are the spine of materials selection. The sheets relate stress, microstructure and life. This sheet (MAT-43 — Hall–Petch) is the form associated with Hall–Petch. Working symbols: $s0$ , $k$ , $d$ $\rightarrow$ $sy$ . Grain-size strengthening. Pedagogical SI sheet with a live model and a swept parameter.

in Materials via

\sigma_y=\sigma_0+k d^{-1/2}

Grain-size strengthening. Use it when a real materials question must be answered in SI before a code check.

Live realistic example

In symbols

Live case. Given

s0 = 50.000\,\mathrm{MPa}

k = 0.700\,\mathrm{MPa√mm}

d = 0.040\,\mathrm{mm}

, the governing relation

\sigma_y=\sigma_0+k d^{-1/2}

yields

sy = 53.500\,\mathrm{MPa}

. One governing identity, SI units, a single sweep on the sheet. Move a slider: the numbers are this situation, not a canned story.
