Dislocation interactions at the crack nucleation site were investigated in near-alpha titanium alloy Ti-6242Si subjected to low cycle fatigue. Cyclic plastic strain in the alloy resulted in dislocation pile-ups in the primary alpha grains,…
Linear complexions are stable defect states that form along dislocations and recent experiments have demonstrated strengthening effects exceeding classical precipitation hardening predictions, motivating a detailed study of nanoscale…
Understanding plastic deformation of crystals in terms of the fundamental physics of dislocations has remained a grand challenge in materials science for decades. To overcome this, the Discrete Dislocation Dynamics (DDD) method has been…
While the mechanical behavior of noble nanoporous metals has been the subject of numerous studies, less is known about their recently developed refractory-based counterparts. Here we report on the mechanical properties, deformation…
We report results of large-scale molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations of dynamic deformation under biaxial tensile strain of pre-strained single-crystalline nanometer-scale-thick face-centered cubic (fcc) copper films. Our results show that…
The universality class of the avalanche behavior in plastically deforming crystalline and amorphous systems has been commonly discussed, despite the fact that the microscopic defect character in each of these systems is different. In…
The yield surface in crystal plasticity can be approached from various directions during mechanical loading. We consider the competition between nanoindentation and tensile loading towards plastic yielding. For this purpose, we develop a…
Plasticity of two-dimensional discrete dislocation systems is studied. It is shown, that at some threshold stress level the response becomes stress-rate dependent. Below this stress level the stress-plastic strain relation exhibits…
Dislocations in ceramics at room temperature are attracting increasing research interest. Dislocations may bring a new perspective for tuning physical and mechanical properties in advanced ceramics. Here, we investigate the dislocation…
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…
We perform atomistic Monte Carlo simulations of bending a Lennard-Jones single crystal in two dimensions. Dislocations nucleate only at the free surface as there are no sources in the interior of the sample. When dislocations reach…
Molecular dynamics simulations on tensile deformation of initially defect free single crystal copper nanowire oriented in <001>{100} has been carried out at 10 K under adiabatic and isothermal loading conditions. The tensile behaviour was…
Tension-compression asymmetry is a notable feature of plasticity in bcc single crystals. Recent experiments reveal striking differences in the plasticity of bcc nanopillars for tension and compression. Here we present results from molecular…
The two-phase composite approach of Estrin et al. (1998) describes an evolving dislocation cell structure. Mckenzie et al. (2007) enhanced the model to capture the effects of hydrostatic pressure and temperature during severe plastic…
While deformation twinning in hexagonal close-packed metals has been widely studied due to its substantial impact on mechanical properties, an understanding of the detailed atomic processes associated with twin embryo growth is still…
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…
Plastic deformation, at all strain rates, is accommodated by the collective motion of crystalline defects known as dislocations. Here, we extend an analysis for the energetic stability of a straight dislocation, the so-called line tension…
We present a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model of nonlinear elasticity in solid materials. We assume that the elastic energy density is a periodic function of the shear and tetragonal strains owing to the underlying lattice structure.…
We deform, in pure shear, a thin sample of Cu$_{50}$Zr$_{50}$ metallic glass using a molecular dynamics simulation up to, and including, failure. The experiment is repeated ten times in order to have average values and standard deviations.…
This work introduces a model for large-strain, geometrically nonlinear elasto-plastic dynamics in single crystals. The key feature of our model is that the plastic dynamics are entirely driven by the movement of dislocations, that is,…
