Mesoscopic scale simulation of dislocation dynamics in fcc metals: Principles and applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reviews the methods and techniques developed to simulate dislocation dynamics on a mesoscopic scale. Attention is given to techniques of acceleration and to the implementation of special boundary conditions. Typical results concerning the deformation of a bulk crystal, the effect of image forces and the combination with a finite-element code to simulate the indentation test are presented. The limits and future development of each application are discussed.

Parametric dislocation dynamics: A thermodynamics-based approach to investigations of mesoscopic plastic deformation
A thermodynamics-based variational method is developed to establish the equations of motion for threedimensional ~3D! interacting dislocation loops. The approach is appropriate for investigations of plastic deformation at the mesoscopic scale by direct numerical simulations. A fast sum technique for determination of elastic field variables of dislocation ensembles is utilized to calculate force...
متن کاملMesoscopic analysis of structure and strength of dislocation junctions in fcc metals
We develop a finite-element-based nodal dislocation dynamics model to simulate the structure and strength of dislocation junctions in fcc crystals. The model is based on anisotropic elasticity theory supplemented by the explicit inclusion of the separation of perfect dislocations into partial dislocations bounding a stacking fault. We demonstrate that the model reproduces in precise detail the ...
متن کاملPossible origin of the discrepancy in Peierls stresses of fcc metals: First-principles simulations of dislocation mobility in aluminum
Dislocation motion governs the strength and ductility of metals, and the Peierls stress (σp) quantifies dislocation mobility. σp measurements carry substantial uncertainty in face-centered cubic (fcc) metals, and σp values can differ by up to two orders of magnitude. We perform first-principles simulations based on orbital-free density functional theory (OFDFT) to calculate the most accurate cu...
متن کاملA parallel algorithm for 3D dislocation dynamics
Dislocation dynamics (DD), a discrete dynamic simulation method in which dislocations are the fundamental entities, is a powerful tool for investigation of plasticity, deformation and fracture of materials at the micron length scale. However, severe computational difficulties arising from complex, long-range interactions between these curvilinear line defects limit the application of DD in the ...
متن کاملSpontaneous athermal cross-slip nucleation at screw dislocation intersections in FCC metals and L12 intermetallics investigated via atomistic simulations
In this manuscript, we extend on our prior work to show that under certain conditions cross-slip nucleation is athermal and spontaneous with zero activation energy in FCC elemental metals such as Ni and Cu, and L12 intermetallic compounds such as Ni3Al. Using atomistic simulations (molecular statics), we show that spontaneous cross-slip occurs at mildly repulsive intersections. Further, the loc...
