In this study, we use discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) simulation to investigate the effect of heterogeneous dislocation density on the transition between quasi-elastic deformation and plastic flow in face-centered cubic single crystals.…
Dislocation-density-based crystal plasticity (CP) models are introduced to account for the microstructural changes throughout the deformation process, enabling more quantitative predictions of the deformation process compared to slip-system…
Dislocation-interface interactions dictate the mechanical properties of polycrystalline materials through dislocation absorption, emission and reflection and interface sliding. We derive a mesoscale interface boundary condition to describe…
The slip behavior of dislocations and grain boundaries critically governs recrystallization and plastic deformation in Mg alloys and can be strongly influenced by solutes. However, the quantitative effects of solute distribution on defect…
Grain boundary complexions have been observed to affect the mechanical behavior of nanocrystalline metals, improving both strength and ductility. While an explanation for the improved ductility exists, the observed effect on strength…
Deformation twinning is a form of permanent deformation that is commonly observed in low symmetry crystals such as hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals. With recent increased interest in using hcp metals, such as magnesium, in structural,…
A theory of flow stress (FS), reviewing and developing our research,e.g. arxiv:1803.08247;1908.09338, is proposed,including yield strength (YS) of PC materials for quasi-static plastic loading for grain of average size d in range…
Grain boundary (GB) diffusion in polycrystalline materials is a physical phenomenon of great fundamental interest and practical significance. Although the accelerated ("short circuit") atomic transport along GBs has been known for decades,…
The role that grain boundary (GB) structure plays on the plasticity of interfaces with preexisting cracks and on the interface crack dynamics was investigated using MD for both <100> and <110> aluminum STGBs. In simulations with a crack at…
The interactions between dislocations and interface/grain boundaries, including dislocation absorption, transmission, and reflection, have garnered significant attention from the research community for their impact on the mechanical…
We analyze the dislocation content of grain boundary (GB) phase junctions, i.e., line defects separating two different GB phases coexisting on the same GB plane. While regular GB disconnections have been characterized for a variety of…
Grain Boundary (GB) deformation mechanisms such as Sliding (GBS) and Opening (GBO) are prevalent in alloys at high homologous temperatures but are hard to capture quantitatively. We propose an automated procedure to quantify 3D GB…
To investigate the barrier effect of grain boundaries on the propagation of avalanche-like plasticity at the atomic-scale, we perform three-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations by using simplified polycrystal models including…
A recent study demonstrated that granular crystals containing a single dislocation exhibit dislocation glide analogous to that observed in atomic-scale crystals, resulting in plastic deformation at yield stresses several orders of magnitude…
The impact of twin boundaries (TBs) on the microstructure evolution and plastic deformation mechanisms of face-centered cubic (FCC) metals has been extensively studied since the discovery that nanotwinned materials exhibit a favorable…
Strain hardening is a key feature observed in many rocks deformed in the so-called ``semi-brittle'' regime, where both crystal plastic and brittle deformation mechanisms operate. Dislocation storage has long been recognised as a major…
Organic molecular crystals encompass a vast range of materials from pharmaceuticals to organic optoelectronics and proteins to waxes in biological and industrial settings. Crystal defects from grain boundaries to dislocations are known to…
During plastic deformation, metals change shape while continuously becoming stronger. The microscopic origin of these processes lies in the proliferation and movement of line defects, dislocations, and the subsequent self-organisation and…
Addition of solutes is commonly used to stabilize nanocrystalline materials against grain growth. However, segregating at grain boundaries, these solutes also affect the process of dislocation nucleation from grain boundaries under applied…
The effect of grain size on the flow strength of FCC polycrystals was analyzed by means of computational homogenization. The mechanical behavior of each grain was dictated by a dislocation-based crystal plasticity model in the context of…
