A local approach coupling atomic force microscopy (AFM) observations and polycrystal finite element calculations is proposed to provide data at the slip-band scale. From AFM measurements of slip bands emerging at the specimen surface during tensile loading, and from numerical results of strain fields at the grain scale, the method is able to determine at the local discrete scale the mean slip-band...
