TL;DR: In this article, a single nickel crystal is indented with a wedge indenter such that a two-dimensional deformation state with three effective plane strain slip systems is induced, and all non-zero components of the Nye dislocation density tensor are calculated from the lattice rotation field.

TL;DR: In this paper, numerical simulations of various angles of wedge indenters into face-centered cubic single crystal were performed under plane strain conditions, and the experiments included ang ang angles of the indenters.

TL;DR: In this article, a strain gradient plasticity framework is extended by incorporating the physical quantities obtained from experimental observations: the quasi-periodicity and the saturation value of dislocation densities.

TL;DR: In this paper, an aluminum bicrystal with a symmetric tilt and a coincident site lattice grain boundary was deformed plastically via wedge indentation under conditions that led to a plane strain deformation state.

TL;DR: The asymptotic stress and deformation fields associated with the contact point singularity of a nearly-flat wedge indenter impinging on a specially oriented single face-centered cubic crystal are derived analytically in a companion paper as discussed by the authors.
