This paper is an inquiry into the relationship between the yield stress and the two length parameters in the fully-lamellar polycrystalline microstructure, the grain-size dCB and the lamellar thickness dLM. Deformation in the multilayer structure is assumed to proceed by dislocations propagating in the formation of a succession of mutually interacting pileups, blocked at the lamellar interfaces and piled-up ultimately against the grain boundary. An important case suggested is a yield stress independent of the grain size, sensitive only to the lamellar spacing.
