چکیده

Discrete dislocation dynamics (DD) simulations in conjunction with stereo and in situ straining transmission electronic microscopy (TEM) were used to study dislocation motion in thin Cu foils. Stereo imaging prior to and following in situ tensile straining is utilized to describe the three-dimensional (3D) evolution of dislocation structures with incremental straining and observation by TEM. The initial 3D configuration is used as input for 3D discrete dislocation dynamics simulations, and the final 3D configuration serves to refine and validate the DD simulation, thereby providing a direct quantitative link between experiment and dislocation dynamics modeling. In the present experiment, we observed complex 3D structures of dislocations, with significant outof-plane motion. Computer simulations incorporating the Friedel–Escaig cross-slip mechanism indicate that surface image forces are sufficiently strong to activate out-of-plane motion for screw dislocation segments near the surface. Cross-slip of screw segments and dislocation climb of edge components are shown to be necessary mechanisms for explaining the observed 3D dislocation motion. 2003 Acta Materialia Inc.

Dislocation nucleation and vacancy formation during high - speed deformation of fcc metals

Recently, a dislocation free deformation mechanism was proposed by Kiritani et al., based on a series of experiments where thin foils of fcc metals were deformed at very high strain rates. In the experimental study, they observed a large density of stacking fault tetrahedra, but very low dislocation densities in the foils after deformation. This was interpreted as evidence for a new dislocation...

Dislocation motion in anisotropic multilayer materials

Line integral forms for the elastic field of dislocations in anisotropic, multilayer materials are developed and utilized in Parametric Dislocation Dynamics (PDD) computer simulations. Developed equations account for interface image forces on dislocations as a result of elastic modulus mismatch between adjacent layers. The method is applied to study dislocation motion in multilayer thin films. ...

Mechanisms of dislocation-defect interactions in irradiated metals investigated by computer simulations

During irradiation, mobile defects, defect clusters and impurity atoms segregate on dislocations. When an external stress is applied, plastic flow is initiated when dislocations are unlocked from segregated defects. Sustained plasticity is achieved by continuation of dislocation motion, overcoming local forces due to dispersed defects and impurities. The phenomena of flow localization, post-yie...

A Comparison of Glenohumeral Internal and External Range of Motion and Rotation Strength in Healthy and Individuals with Recurrent Anterior Instability

Background:  The glenohumeral joint becomes dislocated more than any other major joint because it maintains a wide range of motion and its stability is inherently weak. The most common complication following acute initial shoulder dislocation is recurrent dislocation or chronic instability. Imbalance of strength and range of motion in individuals with anterior dislocation can be a contributing ...
