A simple extension of the thermodynamic dislocation theory to non-uniform plastic deformations is proposed for an analysis of high-temperature torsion of aluminum bars. Employing a small set of physics-based parameters, which we expect to…
The thermodynamic dislocation theory developed for non-uniform plastic deformations is used here for the analysis of twisted copper wires. With a small set of physical parameters that we expect to be independent of strain rate and…
The statistical-thermodynamic dislocation theory developed in previous papers is used here in an analysis of high-temperature deformation of aluminum and steel. Using physics-based parameters that we expect theoretically to be independent…
The thermodynamic dislocation theory developed for non-uniform plastic deformations is used here to simulate the stress-strain curves for crystals subjected to anti-plane shear-controlled load reversal. We show that the presence of the…
An asymptotically exact continuum dislocation theory of single crystal bars under torsion is proposed. The dislocation distribution minimizing energy of the bar with zero torque is shown to be uniform. If the applied torque is non-zero, the…
We present a thermodynamic description of crystal plasticity. Our formulation is based on the Langer-Bouchbinder-Lookman thermodynamic dislocation theory (TDT), which asserts the fundamental importance of an effective temperature that…
The present paper extends the thermodynamic dislocation theory developed by Langer, Bouchbinder, and Lookmann to non-uniform plastic deformations. The free energy density as well as the positive definite dissipation function are proposed.…
Starting from the assumption that all possible orientations of grains are equally probable, we prove that the geometric factor of thermodynamic dislocation theory for polycrystals subjected to axially symmetric tension or compression must…
The thermodynamic dislocation theory presented in preceding papers is used here to describe shear-banding instabilities. Central ingredients of the theory are a thermodynamically defined effective configurational temperature, and a formula…
As an extension to strain-gradient models of size-dependent plastic behaviour, this work proposes a model for a stress-gradient theory. The model is distinguished from earlier works on the topic by its being embedded in a thermodynamically…
We reformulate the theory of polycrystalline plasticity, in externally driven, nonequilibrium situations, by writing equations of motion for the flow of energy and entropy associated with dislocations. Within this general framework, and…
The present paper studies non-uniform plastic deformations of crystals undergoing anti-plane constrained shear. The asymptotically exact energy density of crystals containing a moderately large density of excess dislocations is found by the…
The thermodynamic theory of dislocation-enabled plasticity is based on two unconventional hypotheses. The first of these is that a system of dislocations, driven by external forces and irreversibly exchanging heat with its environment, must…
The dynamics and thermodynamics of dislocated crystals are studied within the framework of the nonlinear theory of elastic and plastic deformations.
We show that the thermodynamic dislocation theory (TDT) predicts a scaling relation between stresses, strain rates, and temperatures for steady-state deformations of crystalline solids, and that this relation is accurately obeyed by a wide…
The thermodynamic theory of dislocation/grain boundary interaction, including dislocation pile-up against, absorption by, and transfer through the grain boundary, is developed for nonuniform plastic deformations in polycrystals. The case…
Thermodynamic dislocation theory incorporating dislocation impediment by the grain boundaries is developed to analyze the shear test of polycrystals. With a small set of physics based material parameters, we are able to simulate the…
This paper presents the thermodynamic dislocation theory containing several modifications over its first version which was originally proposed by Langer, Bouchbinder, and Lookman (2010). Employing a small set of physics-based material…
This article is written in memory of Pierre Hohenberg with appreciation for his deep commitment to the basic principles of theoretical physics. I summarize recent developments in the theory of dislocation-enabled deformation of crystalline…
This review is a simplified summary of the thermodynamic dislocation theory, with special emphasis on the role of an effective temperature. Materials scientists, for decades, have asserted that statistical thermodynamics is not applicable…
