Abstract:

The behavior of screw dislocations dynamically emitted from the tip of a surface crack during loading and unloading has been investigated using a discrete dislocation model. The critical stress intensity factor at the crack tip for dislocation emission is a function of friction stress, core radius of dislocation, and dislocations near the crack tip. During motion, the velocity of dislocation is assumed to be proportional to the effective shear stress to the third power. The effect of crack length and friction stress on dislocation distributions, plastic zone, and dislocation-free zone during loading and unloading was examined.

Abstract:

The present study investigates stability and motion of low angle dislocation boundaries in an array of precipitates. The model considers discrete dislocations and precipitates that are treated as impenetrable particles. Peach-Koehler forces, which originate due to the combined effect of dislocation-dislocation interactions and the applied stress, act the individual dislocations on. Both, the dislocation glide and the dislocation climb at elevated temperatures are taken into account. Results of the numerical study suggest that a critical applied shear stress (CASS) always exists which separates stable and unstable low angle boundary configurations. Varying particle size, interparticle spacing and density of dislocations in the boundary cause changes of the CASS that are systematically investigated. It is shown that the CASSs can considerably differ from the standard Orowan stress controlling the equilibrium of an isolated dislocation in a given microstructure. This result underlines the importance of long-range dislocation interactions that influence the high temperature strength of the precipitation-hardened alloys.

Abstract:

In this article, it is demonstrated that current methods of modelling plasticity as the collective motion of discrete dislocations, such as two-dimensional discrete dislocation plasticity (DDP), are unsuitable for the simulation of very high strain rate processes (10 6 s −1 or more) such as plastic relaxation during shock loading. Current DDP models treat dislocations quasi-statically, ignoring the time-dependent nature of the elastic fields of dislocations. It is shown that this assumption introduces unphysical artefacts into the system when simulating plasticity resulting from shock loading. This deficiency can be overcome only by formulating a fully time-dependent elastodynamic description of the elastic fields of discrete dislocations. Building on the work of Markenscoff & Clifton, the fundamental time-dependent solutions for the injection and non-uniform motion of straight edge dislocations are presented. The numerical implementation of these solutions for a single moving dislocation and for two annihilating dislocations in an infinite plane are presented. The application of these solutions in a two-dimensional model of time-dependent plasticity during shock loading is outlined here and will be presented in detail elsewhere.

Abstract:

The simulation of magnesium plasticity at the microscopic and mesoscopic scale using space and time-discretized statics and dynamics dislocation was carried out. The complexity of discrete dislocation models dues to the fact that the mechanical interaction of ensembles of such defects is with an elastic nature, and therefore involves long-range interactions. The motion of dislocations or dislocation segments in their respective glide planes are usually described by assuming simple phenomenological viscous flows laws. The formulation of the dislocation dynamics is obtained by the Newton’s Second Law of motion for each dislocation or dislocation segment. The evolution of the dislocation position is obtained by simple difference algorithms.

Abstract:

Discrete Dislocation Dynamics (DDD) simulations are a powerful simulation methodology that can predict a crystalline material’s constitutive behavior based on its loading conditions and micro-constituent population/distribution. In this paper, a 3D DDD model with spiral dislocation sources is developed to study size-dependent plasticity in a pure metal material (taken here as Aluminum). It also shows, for the first time, multipole simulations of spirals and how they interact with one another. In addition, this paper also discusses how the free surface of a crystalline material affects the plasticity generation of the spiral dislocation. The surface effect is implemented using the Distributed Dislocation Method. One of the main results from this work, shown here for the first time, is that spiral dislocations can result in traditional Frank–Read sources (edge or screw character) in a crystal. Another important result from this paper is that with more dislocation sources, the plastic flow inside the material is more continuous, which results in a lowering of the flow stress. Lastly, the multipole interaction of the spiral dislocations resulted in a steady-state fan-shaped action for these dislocation sources.

Abstract:

AbstractThe treatment of coherent interfaces and cracks is discussed in the framework of dislocation dynamics (DD). In the case of interfaces, we use DD to study dislocation interactions in nanoscale bimetallic laminates, and to predict their structure after relaxation and during loading. In agreement with experimental observations, our discrete dynamics simulations show that dislocation structure develops only at the interface between coherent layers leaving layers’ interior dislocation-free. The main dislocation mechanism at this length scale is Oworan bowing of threading dislocations confined to their respective layers by the sign-alternating coherency stress field in the layers. Slip transmission across the interfaces marks the end of the confined slip regime, hence, the breakdown of the interfaces and macroscopic yielding of these structures. In the case of crack, its long-range and singular stress field is determined by modeling the crack as continuous distribution of dislocation loops. The traction boundary condition to be satisfied at the crack surface, results into a singular integral equation of the first kind that is solved numerically. The model is integrated with the DD technique to investigate the behavior of a specimen containing cracks of different shapes under fatigue. The results are compared with the behavior of an uncracked specimen and conclusions are extracted. Extension of this crack treatment methodology to account for their presence at interfaces, all within the frame dislocations dynamics, opens the door for a more realistic approach to a wide range of interfaces-related problems.

Abstract:

A 3D model is presented that addresses an evolution of flexible dislocation lines at high temperatures. The model is based on the linear theory of elasticity. A smooth dislocation line is approximated by a piecewise curve composed of short straight dislocation segments. Each dislocation segment is acted upon by a Peach-Koehler force due to a local stress field. All segment-segment interactions as well as an externally applied stress are considered. A segment mobility is proportional to the Peach-Koehler force, temperature-dependent factors control climb and glide motion of the segments. The potential of the model is demonstrated in simulations of simple high temperature processes including interactions of dislocations with secondary particles.

Abstract:

Abstract Complex stress states due to torsion lead to dislocation structures characteristic for the chosen torsion axis. The formation mechanism of these structures and the link to the overall plastic deformation are unclear. Experiments allow the analysis of cross sections only ex situ or are limited in spacial resolution which prohibits the identification of the substructures which form within the volume. Discrete dislocation dynamics simulations give full access to the dislocation structure and their evolution in time. By combining both approaches and comparing similar measures the dislocation structure formation in torsion loading of micro wires is explained. For the ⟨100⟩ torsion axis, slip traces spanning the entire sample in both simulation and experiment are observed. They are caused by collective motion of dislocations on adjacent slip planes. Thus these slip traces are not atomically sharp. Torsion loading around a ⟨111⟩ axis favors plasticity on the primary slip planes perpendicular to the torsion axis and dislocation storage through cross-slip and subsequent collinear junction formation. Resulting hexagonal dislocation networks patches are small angle grain boundaries. Both, experiments and discrete dislocation simulations show that dislocations cross the neutral fiber. This feature is discussed in light of the limits of continuum descriptions of plasticity.

Abstract:

Plastic deformation in crystalline materials occurs through dislocation slip and strengthening is achieved with obstacles that hinder the motion of dislocations. At relatively low temperatures, dislocations bypass the particles by Orowan looping, particle shearing, cross-slip or a combination of these mechanisms. At elevated temperatures, atomic diffusivity becomes appreciable, so that dislocations can bypass the particles by climb processes. Climb plays a crucial role in the long-term durability or creep resistance of many structural materials, particularly under extreme conditions of load, temperature and radiation. Here we systematically examine dislocation-particle interaction mechanisms. The analysis is based on three-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics simulations incorporating impenetrable particles, elastic interactions, dislocation self-climb, cross-slip and glide. The core diffusion dominated dislocation self-climb process is modelled based on a variational principle for the evolution of microstructures, and is coupled with dislocation glide and cross-slip by an adaptive time-stepping scheme to bridge the time scale separation. The stress field caused by particles is implemented based on the particle–matrix mismatch. This model is helpful for understanding the fundamental particle bypass mechanisms and clarifying the effects of dislocation glide, climb and cross-slip on creep deformation.

Abstract:

In this communication, we summarize the current advances in size-dependent continuum plasticity of crystals, specifically, the rate-independent (quasistatic) formulation, on the basis of dislocation mechanics. A particular emphasis is placed on relaxation of slip at interfaces. This unsolved problem is the current frontier of research in plasticity of crystalline materials. We outline a framework for further investigation, based on the developed theory for the bulk crystal. The bulk theory is based on the concept of geometrically necessary dislocations, specifically, on configurations where dislocations pile-up against interfaces. The average spacing of slip planes provides a characteristic length for the theory. The physical interpretation of the free energy includes the error in elastic interaction energies resulting from coarse representation of dislocation density fields. Continuum kinematics is determined by the fact that dislocation pile-ups have singular distribution, which allows us to represent the dense dislocation field at the boundary as a superdislocation, i.e., the jump in the slip filed. Associated with this jump is a slip-dependent interface energy, which in turn, makes this formulation suitable for analysis of interface relaxation mechanisms.

Abstract:

A stochastic dislocation dynamics (SDD) model is developed to investigate dislocation glide through dispersed obstacles. The model accounts for: 1) the dynamics of the flight process between successive meta-stable dislocations under various drag mechanism using discrete dislocation dynamics, and 2) thermal activation processes for meta-stable pinned dislocations using a stochastic force. The integration of the two processes allows one to examine the transient regime of dislocation motion between obstacle-controlled motion and drag-controlled motion. Result pertaining to the stress-strain rate behavior in copper are obtained. The stress and temperature dependence of the average dislocation velocity show obstacle-controlled region below the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) and drag controlled region above the CRSS, which is in good qualitative agreement with experimental data. In the transient region right below the CRSS, negative temperature sensitivity is observed due to the competition between the drag effects in dislocation flight process and thermal activation process.

Abstract:

Ni-based superalloys comprising of elastic particles embedded in a single crystal elastic-plastic matrix are usually subject to loading at elevated service temperatures. In order to enhance the understanding of high temperature deformation mechanisms a two dimensional discrete dislocation plasticity framework wherein the dislocations movement that incorporates both glide and climb is formulated. The climbing dislocations are modelled as point sources/sinks of vacancies and the vacancy diffusion boundary value problem is solved by superposition of the vacancy concentration fields of the point sources/sinks in an infinite medium and a complementary non-singular solution that enforces the relevant boundary conditions. The vacancy concentration field along with the Peach-Kohler force provides the climb rate of the dislocations.

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the connections between four stochastic and deterministic models for the motion of straight screw dislocations. Starting from a description of screw dislocation motion as interacting random walks on a lattice, we prove explicit estimates of the distance between solutions of this model, an SDE system for the dislocation positions, and two deterministic mean-field models describing the dislocation density. The proof of these estimates uses a collection of various techniques in analysis and probability theory, including a novel approach to establish propagation-of-chaos on a spatially discrete model. The estimates are non-asymptotic and explicit in terms of four parameters: the lattice spacing, the number of dislocations, the dislocation core size, and the temperature. This work is a first step in exploring this parameter space with the ultimate aim to connect and quantify the relationships between the many different dislocation models present in the literature.

Abstract:

This paper presents a 3D discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) model describing dislocation processes in crystals subjected to loadings at high temperatures. Smooth dislocations are approximated by short straight segments. Every segment is acted upon by a Peach-Koehler force obtained by summing up forces from all dislocation segments and a force due to the applied stress. The model addresses interactions between individual dislocations and rigid precipitates. The model is applied to a migration of low angle tilt boundaries (LATBs) characterized by different initial dislocation density and constrained by precipitates of different sizes. The calculations showed that, for applied shear stresses σxzlower than a certain threshold σcrit.(h), the LATB is inhibited by the precipitate field. For σxzabove σcrit.(h), the LATB passes through the precipitate field. Some combinations of σxz and h lead to a decomposition of the LATB. The LATBs thus may evolve in three distinct modes depending on the initial microstructure. The threshold stress behaviour is known from creep tests of dispersion-strengthened NiCr alloys [1]. Furthermore, the critical stresses obtained from our calculations are below Orowan stresses for corresponding particle distribution. This behaviour has been also reported in creep experiments [1].

Abstract:

Abstract Ultra-fast cooling and cyclic thermal heating associated with the additive manufacturing by selective laser melting (SLM) often lead to the formation of multi-scale microstructures in manufactured metallic materials. It has been frequently reported that a dislocation cell structure develops within the grains in SLM-316L stainless steels (ss), which has important effects on their mechanical properties and thermal stability. However, the formation mechanism of the dislocation cell structure is still under debate. In this study, we used transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques to characterize the variation of dislocation structures along the building direction in a SLM-316L ss sample. It exhibits various dislocation structures in the very surface melt pools. The distribution of dislocations at shallower locations is relatively discrete. While the dislocation cell structures are completely formed at deeper locations, which are similar to the bulk interior of the sample. The thermal cycle is not the main contribution to the formation of dislocation cell structures, but plays the role in enhancing the annihilation of dislocations inside the cells and sharpening the cell boundaries.

Abstract:

We present a framework coupling continuum elasto-viscoplasticity with three-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics. In this approach, the elastic response is governed by the classical Hooke’s law and the viscoplastic behavior is determined by the motion of curved dislocations in a three-dimensional space. The resulting hybrid continuum-discrete framework is formulated into a standard finite element model where the dislocation-induced stress is homogenized over each element with a similar treatment for the dislocation-induced plastic strain. The model can be used to investigate a wide range of small scale plasticity phenomena, including microshear bands, adiabatic shear bands, stability and formation of dislocation cells, thin films and multiplayer structures. Here we present results pertaining to the formation of deformation bands and surface distortions under dynamic loading conditions and show the capability of the model in analyzing complicated deformation-induced patterns.

Abstract:

In this paper, three dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics method was used to quantitatively investigate the influence of initial defects on mechanical response of single crystal copper. Both the irradiation defects (interstitial loops) and random dislocation lines with different densities are considered. The simulation results demonstrate that the yield strength of single crystal copper is higher with higher initial dislocation density and higher interstitial loop density. Dislocation density increases quickly by nucleation and multiplication and microbands are formed during plastic deformation when only the random dislocation lines are initially considered. Characteristics of microbands show excellent agreement with experiment results. Dislocation multiplication is suppressed in the presence of interstitial loops, and junctions and locks between dislocations and interstitial loops are formed. Dislocation density evolution shows fluctuation accompanied with strain-stress curve fluctuation.

Abstract:

<p class="1Body">The importance of accurate simulation of the plastic deformation of ductile metals to the design of structures and components is well-known. Many techniques exist that address the length scales relevant to deformation processes, including dislocation dynamics (DD), which models the interaction and evolution of discrete dislocation line segments, and crystal plasticity (CP), which incorporates the crystalline nature and restricted motion of dislocations into a higher scale continuous field framework. While these two methods are conceptually related, there have been only nominal efforts focused on the system-level material response that use DD-generated information to enhance the fidelity of plasticity models. To ascertain to what degree the predictions of CP are consistent with those of DD, we compare their global and microstructural response in a number of deformation modes. After using nominally homogeneous compression and shear deformation dislocation dynamics simulations to calibrate crystal plasticity flow rule parameters, we compare not only the system-level stress-strain response of prismatic wires in torsion but also the resulting geometrically necessary dislocation density tensor fields. To establish a connection between explicit description of dislocations and the continuum assumed with crystal plasticity simulations, we ascertain the minimum length-scale at which meaningful dislocation density fields appear. Our results show that, for the case of torsion, the two material models can produce comparable spatial dislocation density distributions.</p>

Abstract:

Dislocation core structures in Au and Cu crystals are investigated by means of quasicontinuum simulations combined with the embedded atom method potentials. A dislocation pair in a graphene sheet, which is observed by Warner et al. experimentally, is also analyzed in the present work. The strain fields around these dislocations in Au, Cu, and graphene crystals are calculated by analyzing the coordinates of discrete atoms, which is a strain tensor calculation method proposed by Zimmerman et al., and compared with theoretical predictions based on Foreman dislocation model. It is shown that the strain fields given by Zimmerman theory are completely suitable for describing the dislocation core structures of Au, Cu and graphene crystals. However, compared with the results of Au and Cu, the Zimmerman strain field in the vicinity of graphene dislocation core is a little less accurate, possibly due to the effect of lattice symmetry of graphene, which needs to be clarified in the future study.

Abstract:

An equilibrium condition of residual edge wedge-type nanotwin in a deformed solid body has been derived in the paper. The condition conclusion is based on the necessity to ensure an equilibrium of force balance acting on every twinning dislocation from the side of the rest twin dislocations. In this case dislocation structure and stress condition at nanotwin mouth have not been taken into account. Results of dislocation theory obtained in the framework of elasticity theory and continuum mechanics have been used in the paper. The paper has considered a component of the resultant force acting in a twinning plane under an assumption that there is no motion of twinning dislocations in the direction which is perpendicular to the twinning plane. The following condition has been made in the model: a discrete distribution of twinning dislocations at twin boundaries. In order to reduce cumbersome calculations a limited number of twinning dislocations has been considered in the paper and an assumption has been made about small value of a helical component in the Burgers vector, in other words the paper has considered an edge nanotwin. In order to decrease a number of equations in the system of equilibrium conditions a symmetric property of a shear component in a stress tensor has been used in the paper. The paper contains description how restrictions on the order of twinning dislocation arrangement on twin boundaries have been imposed. In this case it has been assumed that an arrangement of twinning dislocation pairs in different twin boundaries is in one plane which is perpendicular to the twinning plane. It is necessary to keep in mind that only one twinning dislocation can be located in one twinning plane. Calculations have shown that it is possible to ensure a stable and unstable equilibrium of an edge nanotwin in an ideal unloaded crystal. Sustainable balance is provided by alignment of twinning dislocations in a wall. This leads to a twin disappearance due to annihilation of twin boundary dislocations with its dislocations at the mouth. In order to ensure an unstable equilibrium of a wedge edge nanotwin it is necessary that the distance between twinning dislocations along the length of the twin is equal to interplanar distance.

Abstract:

The early stages of the formation of dislocation microstructures in low strain fatigue are analysed,using three-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics modelling (DDD). A detailed analysis of the simulated microstructures provide a detailed scheme for the persistent slip band formation, emphasizing the crucial role of cross-slip for both the initial strain spreading inside of the grain and for the subsequent strain localization in the form of slip bands. A new ad-hoc posttreatment tool evaluates the surface roughness as the cycles proceed. Slip markings and their evolutions are analysed, in relation to the dislocation microstructure. This dislocation-based study emphasizes the separate contribution of plastic slip in damage nucleation. A simple 1D dislocation based model for work-hardening in crystal plasticity is proposed. In this model, the forest dislocations are responsible for friction stress (isotropic work-hardening), while dislocation pile-ups and dislocation trapped in Persistent Slip Bands (PSB) produce the back stress (kinematic workhardening). The model is consistent with the stress-strain curves obtained in DDD. It is also consistent with the stress-strain curves experimentally obtained for larger imposed strain amplitudes.

The bending behavior of single- and polycrystalline thin films is modeled by two-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) to study the cyclic bending response. In the polycrystalline films, grain boundaries (GBs) are simulated with a penetrable dislocation-GB interaction model. Our results reveal that the single- and polycrystalline thin films under pure bending exhibit strong Bauschinger effect but no cyclic hardening or softening. Furthermore, the uploading response of each cycle can be divided into three stages, which are associated with the glide, annihilation and nucleation of dislocations, respectively.

The influence on the fatigue crack growth behaviour of a short edge crack due to different configurations of a nearby located low angle grain boundary is investigated under quasi-static and plane strain conditions. The geometry is modelled by dislocation dipole elements in a boundary element approach, and the plasticity is modelled by discrete dislocations. The crack is assumed to grow in a single shear mechanism due to nucleation, glide and annihilation of dislocations in the material. It was found that the sign of the dislocations in the grain boundary, the distances between them and the placement of the dislocations in the grain boundary with respect to preferred slip plane directions, all strongly influenced the growth behaviour.

Abstract:

Two dimensional simulations of discrete dislocation dynamics were carried out to clarify a shielding effect due to dislocations at a crack tip. The configuration of dislocations around the crack tip was calculated under the conditions of mode I tensile load at high temperatures. The stress field around the crack tip due to dislocations was found to be compressive, accommodating mode I stress intensity at the crack tip. In order to experimentally confirm the stress accommodation, infrared photoelastic observation was also performed in a specimen pre-deformed at high temperatures. The experimental result is in good agreement with a simulated infrared photoelastic image derived from the stress field calculated.

Abstract:

We wish to understand the macroscopic plastic behaviour of metals by upscaling the micro-mechanics of dislocations. We consider a highly simplified dislocation network, which allows our discrete model to be a one dimensional particle system, in which the interactions between the particles (dislocation walls) are singular and non-local. As a first step towards treating realistic geometries, we focus on finite-size effects rather than considering an infinite domain as typically discussed in the literature. We derive effective equations for the dislocation density by means of Γ-convergence on the space of probability measures. Our analysis yields a classification of macroscopic models, in which the size of the domain plays a key role.

Abstract:

Plane strain indentation of a single crystal by a rigid wedge is analyzed using discrete dislocation plasticity. We consider two wedge geometries having different sharpness, as specified by the half-angle of the indenter: α = 70° and 85°. The dislocations are all of edge character and modeled as line singularities in a linear elastic material. The crystal has initial sources and obstacles randomly distributed over three slip systems. The lattice resistance to dislocation motion, dislocation nucleation, dislocation interaction with obstacles, and dislocation annihilation are incorporated through a set of constitutive rules. Several definitions of the contact area (contact length in plane strain) are used to illustrate the sensitivity of the hardness value in the submicron indentation regime to the definition of contact area. The size dependence of the indentation hardness is found to be sensitive to the definition of contact area used and to depend on the wedge half-angle. For a relatively sharp indenter, with a half-angle of 70°, an indentation size effect is not obtained when the contact area is small and when the hardness is based on the actual contact length, while there does appear to be a size effect for some hardness values based on other measures of contact length.

Abstract:

A comprehensive 3D discrete dislocation dynamics model for Ni-base single crystal superalloys was used to investigate the influence of excess volumes induced by solute atoms Re and W on dislocation motion and creep under different tensile loads at 850 ° C. The solute atoms were distributed homogeneously only in γ matrix channels. Their excess volumes due to the size difference from the host Ni were calculated by density functional theory. The excess volume affected dislocation glide more strongly than dislocation climb. The relative positions of dislocations and solute atoms determined the magnitude of back stresses on the dislocation motion. Without diffusion of solute atoms, it was found that W with a larger excess volume had a stronger strengthening effect than Re. With increasing concentration of solute atoms, the creep resistance increased. However, a low external stress reduced the influence of different excess volumes and different concentrations on creep.

Abstract:

The present paper summarizes the crystallographic dependence of the displacement burst behavior observed in nanoindentation using two single crystalline aluminum (Al) materials and copper (Cu) with three kinds of surface indices, namely (001), (110) and (111). From the critical indent load at the first burst, the critical resolved shear stresses (CRSSs) of the collective dislocation nucleation were estimated in reference to molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. These are almost one-tenth of the shear modulus, which are close to the ideal values. We explain the nanoplastic mechanics by a comprehensive energy balance model to describe the linear relation between the indent load and the burst width of the first displacement burst and by the nucleation model consisting of three-dimensional discrete dislocations to evaluate the number of dislocations nucleating. The distance between the emitted dislocation loops of Al is found to be fairly large. Thus, Al is expected to exhibit a less tangled network of dislocations just below the indentation than Cu, which has a lower stacking fault energy.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTA persistent challenge in multi-scale modeling of materials is the prediction of plastic materials behavior based on the evolution of the dislocation state. An important step towards a dislocation based continuum description was recently achieved with the so called continuum dislocation dynamics (CDD). CDD captures the kinematics of moving curved dislocations in flux-type evolution equations for dislocation density variables, coupled to the stress field via average dislocation velocity-laws based on the Peach-Koehler force. The lowest order closure of CDD employs three internal variables per slip system, namely the total dislocation density, the classical dislocation density tensor and a so called curvature density.In the current work we present a three-dimensional implementation of the lowest order CDD theory as a materials sub-routine for Abaqus®in conjunction with the crystal plasticity framework DAMASK. We simulate bending of a micro-beam and qualitatively compare the plastic shear and the dislocation distribution on a given slip system to results from the literature. The CDD simulations reproduce a zone of reduced plastic shear close to the surfaces and dislocation pile-ups towards the center of the beam, which have been similarly observed in discrete dislocation simulations.

Abstract:

The simplified model of numerical analyses of discrete dislocation motion and emission from a stressed source was applied to predict the yield stress, dislocation creep, and fatigue crack growth rate of metals dominated by dislocation motion. The results obtained by these numerical analyses enabled us to link various dynamical effects on the yield stress, dislocation creep, and fatigue crack growth rate with the experimental results of macroscopic phenomena, as well as to link them with theoretical results obtained by the concept of static, continuously distributed infinitesimal dislocations for the equilibrium state under low strain or stress rate conditions. This will be useful to holistic research approaches with concern for time and space scales, that is, in a time scale ranging from results under high strain rate condition to those under static or low strain rate condition, and in a space scale ranging from meso-scale to macro-scale mechanics. The originality of results obtained by these analyses were found by deriving the analytical formulations of number of dislocation emitted from a stressed source and a local dynamic stress intensity factor at the pile-up site of dislocations as a function of applied stress or stress rate and temperature material constants. This enabled us to develop the predictive law of yield stress, creep deformation rate, and fatigue crack growth rate of metals dominated by dislocation motion. Especially, yielding phenomena such as the stress rate and grain size dependence of yield stress and the delayed time of yielding were clarified as a holistic phenomenon composed of sequential processes of dislocation release from a solute atom, dislocation group moving, and stress concentration by pile-up at the grain boundary.

Abstract:

AbstractMaterial strengthening and embrittlement are controlled by interactions between dislocations and hydrogen that alter the observed deformation mechanisms. In this work, we used an energetics approach to differentiate two fundamental stress corrosion mechanisms in iron, namely, hydrogen-enhanced localized plasticity and hydrogen-enhanced decohesion. Considering the small-scale yielding condition, we use a discrete dislocation framework with line dislocations to simulate the crack-tip plastic behavior. The crack growth was modeled using the change in surface energies (cohesive zone laws) due to hydrogen segregation. The changes in the surface energies as a function of hydrogen concentration are computed using atomistic simulations. Results indicate that, when hydrogen concentrations are low, crack growth occurs by alternating mechanisms of cleavage and slip. However, as the hydrogen concentrations increased above some critical value, the crack grows predominately by the cleavage-based decohesion process.

Abstract:

The influence of material supersaturation with deformation vacancies on the characteristics of broken dislocation boundaries that appear near wedge disclinations as a result of accommodative plastic deformation is considered. An analysis is made for the elastic and osmotic forces acting on the dislocations of the broken boundary. Using discrete dislocation dynamics method, computer simulation of the nonconservative motion (climb) of dislocations in the boundary plane has been carried out. The broken boundary formed as a result of the splitting of the original disclination into two partial with equal strengths and the boundary with an inhomogeneous distribution of dislocations (with a linearly decreasing misorientation) were considered as initial ones. It is shown that in the case of broken dislocation boundary formed near a positive wedge disclination, dislocation climb leads to its unlimited growth through the model grain with a simultaneous decrease of misorientation. In the case of a boundary formed near a negative disclination, the osmotic forces acting on the dislocations of the broken boundary can, at sufficiently large super saturations of the material with nonequilibrium vacancies, lead to its significant compression with a simultaneous increase of the density of the Burgers vector. In this case, the choice of the initial configuration of the broken boundary has practically no effect on the characteristics of the equilibrium distribution of dislocations. The density distributions of the Burgers vector along the broken boundary are calculated for the case of small and large supersaturations of the material with nonequilibrium vacancies. The critical value of supersaturation above which the boundary compression occurs is calculated. The boundary compression leads to a significant increase in tensile stresses in its vicinity. In this case, the maximum tensile stresses in the plane coinciding with the plane of the boundary are reached at the boundary break point. The results obtained may be of interest in the analysis of possible mechanisms for the initiation of cracks and pores during ductile fracture of metals.

Abstract:

Discrete dislocation dynamics were used to determine the relative strengths of binary dislocation junctions in fcc crystals. Equilibrium junctions of different types Lomer, glissile, coplanar, and collinear were formed by allowing parallel dislocations of unequal length to react. The strengths were determined from the computed minimum strain rate versus the applied shear stress plots. The collinear configuration was found to be the strongest and coplanar the weakest. It was seen that the glissile junction could exist as two variants depending on which parent slip system the shear stress is applied. One variant of the glissile junction was found to be as strong as the collinear configuration.

Abstract:

Simulations of nanoindentation in single crystals are performed using a finite temperature coupled atomistic/continuum discrete dislocation (CADD) method. This computational method for multiscale modeling of plasticity has the ability of treating dislocations as either atomistic or continuum entities within a single computational framework. The finite-temperature approach here inserts a Nose-Hoover thermostat to control the instantaneous fluctuations of temperature inside the atomistic region during the indentation process. The method of thermostatting the atomistic region has a significant role on mitigating the reflected waves from the atomistic/continuum boundary and preventing the region beneath the indenter from overheating. The method captures, at the same time, the atomistic mechanisms and the long-range dislocation effects without the computational cost of full atomistic simulations. The effects of several process variables are investigated, including system temperature and rate of indentation. Results and the deformation mechanisms that occur during a series of indentation simulations are discussed.

Abstract:

Zirconium alloys are widely used in the Candu nuclear power generating system because of their unique combination of creep and corrosion resistance properties coupled with a low neutron cross section. The Zr-2.5 wt%Nb alloy has been extensively studied because it is the key component in pressure tubes. Pressure tubes are fabricated by extrusion in the two phase (α + β) field in the binary phase diagram, followed by cold work and stress relief heat treatments. As a result of this treatment, the alloy has a complex microstructure consisting of a duplex α + βzr or α + βNb structure (depending on the particular heat treatment), superimposed on which is a dislocation structure associated with the working operation. Typical microstructures are shown in Figs.l and 2. If the alloy is quenched from the β phase field (1000° C), a Widmanstätten α-βzr microstructure is produced (Fig.la). In the extruded state (Fig.lb), the βZr phase is now elongated and linked by a substructure which contains both <a> and <c> dislocations. Cold working followed a stress relief heat treatment at 400°C for 24 hrs introduces predominantly <a> dislocations, while the βZr phase (which is metastable) has decomposed to form discrete arrays of βNb (Fig-lc). Examples of the dislocation substructure are shown in Fig.2. Boundaries containing both <a> and <c> dislocations are observed. The misorientation at the boundaries is typically a few degrees. They are often stepped or faceted. In Fig.2 the steps correspond to a <c> dislocation which has dissociated to form two <c>/2 dislocations.

Abstract:

Three-dimensional (3D) discrete dislocation dynamics simulations are used to analyze the size effect on the fractal dimension of two-dimensional (2D) and 3D dislocation microstructure. 2D dislocation structures are analyzed first, and the calculated fractal dimension ( n 2 ) is found to be consistent with experimental results gleaned from transmission electron microscopy images. The value of n 2 is found to be close to unity for sizes smaller than 300 nm, and increases to a saturation value of ≈1.8 for sizes above approximately 10 microns. It is discovered that reducing the sample size leads to a decrease in the fractal dimension because of the decrease in the likelihood of forming strong tangles at small scales. Dislocation ensembles are found to exist in a more isolated way at the nano- and micro-scales. Fractal analysis is carried out on 3D dislocation structures and the 3D fractal dimension ( n 3 ) is determined. The analysis here shows that ( n 3 ) is significantly smaller than ( n 2 + 1 ) of 2D projected dislocations in all considered sizes.

Abstract:

Gradient nano-grained (GNG) metals have shown high synergetic strength and good ductility due to their unique gradient microstructure. In this study, the mechanical behavior of gradient nano-grained metals was investigated by three-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics. The simulation results show a trend that the successive yielding and gradual “transmission” of dislocations along the gradient direction result in a gradient distribution of stress and plastic strain. The distribution of geometrically necessary dislocations is more inhomogeneous in the gradient nano-grained (GNG) sample compared with those homogenous counterparts. The non-uniform deformation response of component layers induces the synergetic-deformation-induced (SDI) strengthening in the GNG sample. The back stress originates from geometrically necessary dislocations that pile up near the interface of gradient layers and leads to a significant hardening while there is a slight softening in different gradient layers in the GNG sample. This study provides a deeper insight into the SDI strengthening in gradient structure from the submicron scale.

Abstract:

Abstract A statistical analysis of internal stress fluctuations, defined as the difference between the local mean stress and stress on dislocations, is presented for deforming crystals with 3D discrete dislocation systems. Dislocation realizations are generated using dislocation dynamics simulations and the associated stress field is computed as a superposition of a regularized stress field of dislocation lines within the domain of the solution and a complementary stress field computed via a finite-element boundary value problem. The internal stress fluctuations of interest are defined by an ensemble of the difference between the stress on dislocation lines and the local mean field stress in the crystal. The latter is established in a piecewise fashion over small voxels in the crystal thus allowing the difference between the local average stress and stress on segments to be easily estimated. The results show that the Schmid stress (resolved shear stress) and Escaig stress fluctuations on various slip systems sampled over a random set of points follow a Cauchy (Lorentz) distribution at all strain levels, with the amplitude and width of the distribution being dependent on the strain. The implications of the Schmid and Escaig internal stress fluctuations are discussed from the points of view of dislocation cross-slip and the dislocation motion in continuum dislocation dynamics.

Abstract:

Compression tests at low strains were performed to theoretically analyze the effects of anisotropic elasticity, misorientation, grain boundary (GB) stiffness, interfacial dislocations, free surfaces, and critical force on dislocation pile-ups in micro-sized Face-Centered Cubic (FCC) Nickel (Ni) and α -Brass bi-crystals. The spatial variations of slip heights due to localized slip bands terminating at GB were measured by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) to determine the Burgers vector distributions in the dislocation pile-ups. These distributions were then simulated by discrete pile-up micromechanical calculations in anisotropic bi-crystals consistent with the experimentally measured material parameters. The computations were based on the image decomposition method considering the effects of interphase GB and free surfaces in multilayered materials. For Ni and α -Brass, it was found that the best predicted step height spatial profiles were obtained considering anisotropic elasticity, free surface effects, a homogeneous external stress and a certain critical force in the material to equilibrate the dislocation pile-ups.

Abstract:

In polycrystalline materials, dislocations can interact with grain boundaries (GBS) through a number of mechanisms including dislocation absorption, pile-up formation, dissociation reactions within the GB plane and (possibly) dislocation nucleation from the interface itself. The effects of dislocation pile-ups contribute significantly to the mechanical behavior of polycrystalline materials by creating back-stresses that inactivate the primary slip systems in the vicinity of the interface, corresponding with the celebrated Hall–Petch relationship between size and strength. However, dislocation pile-ups cannot be contained within the small grain sizes that can be accommodated by molecular dynamics simulations, which to-date remain the primary computational method used to study the discrete structure of GBs. Dislocation dynamics (DD) simulations are a promising framework for computational modeling that are used to provide insights about phenomena that can only be explained from the intermediate scale between atomistic and macro scales. However, a robust framework for modeling dislocation interactions with internal microstructure such as grain boundaries (GBs) has yet to be achieved for 3D models of DD. Furthermore, this is the first implementation which explicitly includes the dislocation content of the interface. The framework described in this paper is effective for studying GB-dislocation interactions (including inter-granular effects) and the approach for partitioning the DD simulation domain. To achieve a robust method to differentiate between crystal regions, the present framework utilizes a mesh-based partitioning system. Within each grain, slip systems are determined by the grain orientation. The versatile construction described, allows modeling of an arbitrary crystallography, size and grain geometry. Extrinsic dislocations that intersect the interface are constrained to glide on the line of intersection between the glide plane and GB plane. Atomistically informed criteria for slip transmission are implemented, based on the geometrically optimal outgoing glide plane which shares a common line of intersection on the GB plane. Slip transmission is only initiated when the resolved shear stress in one of the compatible outgoing slip directions exceeds an approximate threshold resolved shear stress, which is based on observations made with molecular dynamics studies. The primary aim of the present study was to establish a sufficiently ‘generic’ framework to enable the modelling of various GB structures, polycrystal geometries and crystallographic orientations. The framework described in the present work provides a means to study multi-grain deformation processes governed by dislocations pile-ups at GBs, in detail beyond feasible limits of experiments or atomistic simulation approaches.

Abstract:

This study introduces a numerical tool to generate virtual diffraction peaks from known elastic displacement or strain fields arising in the presence of discrete straight or curved dislocations in continuous media. The tool allows for the generation of diffraction peaks according to three methods: the displacement-based Fourier method of Warren, the Stokes–Wilson approximate method and a new average-strain-based Fourier method. The trade-off between the accuracy and the demand for computational power of the three methods is discussed. The work is applied to the cases of single-crystal microstructures containing (i) straight dislocations, (ii) low-angle symmetric tilt grain boundaries, (iii) a restrictedly random distribution of dislocations and (iv) complex microstructures generated by discrete dislocation dynamics, to illustrate the differences and domains of validity of the aforementioned methods. Dissimilar diffraction profiles reveal that peak broadening from dislocated crystals has additional contributions coming from strain gradients – a feature that is rejected in the Stokes–Wilson approximation. The problem of dealing with multi-valued displacement fields faced in the displacement-based Fourier method is overcome by the new average-strain-based Fourier method.
