Dislocation nucleation in shocked fcc solids: effects of temperature and preexisting voids.
نویسنده
چکیده
Quantitative behaviors of shock-induced dislocation nucleation are investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulations on fcc Lennard-Jones solids: a model argon. In perfect crystals, it is found that the Hugoniot elastic limit (HEL) is a linearly decreasing function of temperature: from near-zero to melting temperatures. In a defective crystal with a void, dislocations are found to nucleate on the void surface. Also, HEL drastically decreases to 15% of the perfect crystal when the void radius is 3.4 nanometers. The decrease of HEL becomes larger as the void radius increases, but HEL becomes insensitive to temperature.

Entropic stabilization of nanoscale voids in materials under tension.
While preexisting defects are known to act as nucleation sites for plastic deformation in shocked materials, the kinetics of the early stages of plastic yield are still poorly understood. We use atomistic simulation techniques to investigate the kinetics of plastic yield around small preexisting voids in copper single crystals under uniaxial tensile strain. We demonstrate that at finite tempera...
متن کاملCrack Tip Dislocation Nucleation in FCC Solids
We present results of molecular dynamic simulations aimed at examining crack tip dislocation emission in fcc solids. The results are analyzed in terms of recent continuum formulations of this problem. In mode II, Au, Pd, and Pt displayed a new unanticipated mechanism of crack tip dislocation emission involving the creation of a pair of Shockley partials on a slip plane one plane below the crack...
متن کاملTemperature and strain-rate dependence of surface dislocation nucleation.
Dislocation nucleation is essential to the plastic deformation of small-volume crystalline solids. The free surface may act as an effective source of dislocations to initiate and sustain plastic flow, in conjunction with bulk sources. Here, we develop an atomistic modeling framework to address the probabilistic nature of surface dislocation nucleation. We show the activation volume associated w...
متن کاملVoid Growth in BCC Metals Simulated with Molecular Dynamics using the Finnis - Sinclair Potential
The process of fracture in ductile metals involves the nucleation, growth, and linking of voids. This process takes place both at the low rates involved in typical engineering applications and at the high rates associated with dynamic fracture processes such as spallation. Here we study the growth of a void in a single crystal at high rates using molecular dynamics (MD) based on Finnis-Sinclair...
متن کاملSupersonic Dislocation Bursts in Silicon
Dislocations are the primary agents of permanent deformation in crystalline solids. Since the theoretical prediction of supersonic dislocations over half a century ago, there is a dearth of experimental evidence supporting their existence. Here we use non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of shocked silicon to reveal transient supersonic partial dislocation motion at approximately 15 k...
