Dislocation climb models from atomistic scheme to dislocation dynamics
We develop a mesoscopic dislocation dynamics model for vacancy-assisted dislocation climb by upscalings from a stochastic model on the atomistic scale. Our models incorporate microscopic mechanisms of (i) bulk diffusion of vacancies, (ii) vacancy exchange dynamics between bulk and dislocation core, (iii) vacancy pipe diffusion along the dislocation core, and (iv) vacancy attachment-detachment k...
متن کاملNew evidence for dislocation creep from 3-D geodynamic modeling of the Pacific upper mantle structure
Laboratory studies on deformation of olivine in response to applied stress suggest two distinct deformation mechanisms in the earth’s upper mantle: diffusion creep through diffusion of atoms along grain boundaries and dislocation creep by slipping along crystallographic glide planes. Each mechanism has very different and important consequences on the dynamical evolution of the mantle and the de...
متن کاملLocalization of dislocation creep in the lower mantle: implications for the origin of seismic anisotropy
Recent seismological observations reveal the presence of seismic anisotropy in localized regions at the base of the mantle within an otherwise isotropic lower mantle. These regions can be placed in a tectonic context, corresponding to locations of paleosubduction and plume upwelling. This project works toward determining whether the observed seismic anisotropy may be explained by the developmen...
متن کاملDislocation mechanisms of creep in Ni3Al
The compressive creep deforrn;~tiort microstructure of polycrystalline Ni3AI h:is been observed by transnlission electron microscopy (TEM). ( 1 1 I ) rind ( 110) slip systems have been identified in primary creep. Dissociatiort of edge superparti:~l pairs perpendicular to the slip plane (both { 11 1 ) and ( 110) ) is common in crept specimens. I'he formation of this superdislocation...
متن کاملDislocation jamming and andrade creep.
We simulate the glide motion of an assembly of interacting dislocations under the action of an external shear stress and show that the associated plastic creep relaxation follows Andrade's law. Our results indicate that Andrade creep in plastically deforming crystals involves the correlated motion of dislocation structures near a dynamic transition separating a flowing from a jammed phase. Simu...
