Grain Boundaries in Polycrystalline Alumina

Stress-driven migration of simple low-angle mixed grain boundaries

We investigated the stress-induced migration of a class of simple low-angle mixed grain boundaries (LAMGBs) using a combination of discrete dislocation dynamics simulations and analytical arguments. The migration of LAMGBs under an externally applied stress can occur by dislocation glide, and was observed to be coupled to the motion parallel to the boundary plane, i.e. tangential motion. Both t...

non-linear study of various slit shear walls in steel structures

seismic retrofit strategies have been developed in the past few decades following the introduction of new seismic provisions and the availability of advanced materials and methods. it can be observed that new approaches to deal with more lateral forces are more innovative and more energy absorbent. in line with this, there is a growing trend toward the use of steel shear walls as a system with ...

Transition between Low and High Angle Grain Boundaries

Institut für Metallkunde und Metallphysik, RWTH Aachen, 52056 Aachen, Germany Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh PA 15213, USA Abstract The migration of planar, symmetric tilt grain boundaries with different tilt axes was investigated. The driving force for the grain boundary migration was due to an external mechanical stress field. Low as well as high angle grain boundaries can move under ...
