Plastic deformation of micron-scale crystalline materials differ considerably from bulk ones, because it is characterized by random strain bursts. To obtain a detailed picture about this stochastic phenomenon, micron sized pillars have been…
Micron-scale single crystalline materials deform plastically via large intermittent strain bursts that make the deformation process unpredictable. Here we investigate this stochastic phenomenon by analysing the plastic response of an…
Size-dependence of plastic flow is studied by discrete dislocation dynamical simulation of systems with various numbers of interacting linear edge dislocations while the stress is slowly increased. Regions between avalanches in the…
Plastic deformation of micron-scale crystalline solids exhibits stress-strain curves with significant sample-to-sample variations. It is a pertinent question if this variability is purely random or to some extent predictable. Here we show,…
Microcrystals deform very differently from their macroscopic counterparts, displaying a size-dependent yield stress and intermittent plastic strain bursts. Here we demonstrate that size effects and strain bursts may be just two different…
The existence of a well defined yield stress, where a macroscopic piece of crystal begins to plastically flow, has been one of the basic observations of materials science. In contrast to macroscopic samples, in micro- and nanocrystals the…
We study strain-controlled plastic deformation of crystalline solids via two-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics simulations. To this end, we characterize the average stress-strain curves as well as the statistical properties of…
Mechanical deformation of nanopillars displays features that are distinctly different from the bulk behavior of single crystals: Yield strength increases with decreasing size and plastic deformation comes together with strain bursts or/and…
We study a one-dimensional model of a dislocation pileup driven by an external stress and interacting with random quenched disorder, focusing on predictability of the plastic deformation process. Upon quasistatically ramping up the…
Plastic deformation in microscale differs from the macroscopic plasticity in two respects: (i) the flow stress of small samples depends on their size (ii) the scatter of plasticity increases significantly. In this work we focus on the…
Nanoindentation techniques recently developed to measure the mechanical response of crystals under external loading conditions reveal new phenomena upon decreasing sample size below the microscale. At small length scales, material…
On microscopic and mesoscopic scales, plastic flow of crystals is characterized by large intrinsic fluctuations. Deformation by crystallographic slip occurs in a sequence of intermittent bursts ('slip avalanches') with power-law size…
Plastic deformation of microsamples is characterised by large intermittent strain bursts caused by dislocation avalanches. Here we investigate how ion irradiation affects this phenomenon during single slip single crystal plasticity. To this…
The sequence of deformation bursts during plastic deformation exhibits scale-free features. In addition to the burst or avalanche sizes and the rate of avalanches the process is characterized by correlations in the series which become…
We report a combined experimental and simulation study of deformation-induced diffusion in compacted two-dimensional amorphous granular pillars, in which thermal fluctuations play negligible role. The pillars, consisting of bidisperse…
When stressed sufficiently, solid materials yield and deform plastically via reorganization of microscopic constituents. Indeed, it is possible to alter the micro-structure of materials by judicious application of stress, an empirical pro-…
Three-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics simulations are used to study strain-controlled plastic deformation of face-centered cubic aluminium single crystals. After describing the rate and size dependence of the average stress-strain…
Deformation band patterning in single crystals is investigated using a finite strain crystal viscoplasticity model based on the evolution of dislocation densities. In the presence of strong latent hardening and weak rate dependence, the…
The first plastic event occurring in discrete intermittent plasticity, as for example a pop-in seen in nano-indentation, is evaluated with extreme value statistics. It is found that when the same deformation is repeated many times, the…
A stochastic discrete slip approach is proposed to model plastic deformation in submicron domains. The model is applied to the study of submicron pillar ($D~\leq~1\mu m$) compression experiments on tungsten (W), a prototypical metal for…
