A polycrystalline copper alloy contains a dispersion of hard aluminum oxide particles of diameter 10-8 m and an average center-to-center distance of 2.5 x 10-8 m, measured in the slip planes. The Young’s modulus of Cu is E = 120 GPa and the Burger’s vector b = 0.255 nm. Estimate the contribution of the hard particles to the yield strength of the alloy
