Slip avalanches in crystal plasticity: scaling of the avalanche cutoff
Plastic deformation of crystals proceeds through a sequence of intermittent slip avalanches with scale-free (power-law) size distribution. On macroscopic scales, however, plastic flow is known to be smooth and homogeneous. In the present letter we use a recently proposed continuum model of slip avalanches to systematically investigate the nature of the cut-off which truncates scale-free behavio...
متن کاملAvalanches and scaling in plastic deformation.
Plastic deformation of crystalline materials is a complex nonhomogeneous process characterized by avalanches in the motion of dislocations. We study the evolution of dislocation loops using an analytically solvable phase-field model of dislocations for ductile single crystals during monotonic loading. The distribution of dislocation loop sizes is given by P(A) approximately A-sigma, with sigma=...
متن کاملNeuronal avalanches and brain plasticity
Networks of living neurons exhibit an avalanche mode of activity, experimentally found in organotypic cultures. Moreover, experimental studies of morphology indicate that neurons develop a network of small-world-like connections, with the possibility of a very high connectivity degree. Here we discuss a recent model based on self-organized criticality, which consists of an electrical network wi...
متن کاملScale-free intermittent flow in crystal plasticity.
Under stress, crystals irreversibly deform through complex dislocation processes that intermittently change the microscopic material shape through isolated slip events. These underlying processes can be revealed in the statistics of the discrete changes. Through ultraprecise nanoscale measurements on nickel microcrystals, we directly determined the size of discrete slip events. The sizes ranged...
متن کاملBrain plasticity and hand surgery: an overview.
The hand is an extension of the brain, and the hand is projected and represented in large areas of the motor and sensory cortex. The brain is a complicated neural network which continuously remodels itself as a result of changes in sensory input. Such synaptic reorganizational changes may be activity-dependent, based on alterations in hand activity and tactile experience, or a result of deaffer...
