Most models for these experimental data are developed based on strain gradient theory. Compared with the scale of dislocation movement and hardening mechanisms, which are used to model the physical-based strain gradient, plastic deformation in microstructures is sufficiently large, so that finite plasticity theory could be well justified. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to develop a strain gradient theory with the cooperation of dislocation theory and finite plastic as a new constitutive equation. This procedure is accomplished with the intrinsic length scale relation, which is dedicated to the phenomenological development of plasticity laws for microstructures in finite plasticity. It is a new process of expressing the plastic deformation result for microstructures. Finally, the result of this new theory is indicated for microwires. %8 2011-06-30
