چکیده

It is now a well known phenomenon that thin films are susceptible to size effects, which can be captured adequately by gradient plasticity theories. Besides the scale dependency, metal thin films also exhibit time dependent behavior: anelasticity (deformation recovery over time following elastic spring back upon load removal) and creep (permanent deformation developed over time at constant loads). This work focuses on the extension of a strain gradient crystal plasticity (SGCP) model (Int J Solids Struct 43:7268–7286, 2006; Phil Mag 87:1361–1378, 2007; J Mech Phys Solids 52:2379–2401, 2004; Int J Solids Struct 41:5209–5230, 2004), previously developed for the scale dependent behavior of pure fcc metals, so that it can be exploited for the description of the scale and time dependent mechanical behavior of thin films that are made of metal alloys with second phase particles. For this purpose, an extended physically based slip law is developed for crystallographic slip in fcc metals by considering the deformation mechanisms that are active within the grains. In doing so, the interaction of dislocations with other dislocations and with second phase particles is taken into account. Three types of dislocation–particle interactions are considered: (i) the Orowan mechanism, (ii) the Friedel mechanism, and (iii) dislocation climb. Finite element simulations of the bending of a single crystalline beam show that at low stress levels, the plastic slip rate is controlled by dislocation climb within the presented model. Provided that a considerable lattice diffusion occurs and sufficiently large back stresses exist in the material, the extended SGCP model predicts a noticeable time dependent recovery, reducing the residual deformation after unloading. The magnitude and the characteristic time scale of the anelastic recovery are controlled by dislocation glide limited by climb.

Epitaxially influenced boundary layer model for size effect in thin metallic films

It is shown that the size effect recently observed by Espinosa et al., fJ. Mech. Phys. Solids 51, 47 s2003dg in pure tension tests on free thin metallic films can be explained by the existence of a boundary layer of fixed thickness, located at the surface of the film that was attached onto the substrate during deposition. The boundary layer is influenced by the epitaxial effects of crystal grow...

Modeling the plastic response of thin metal membranes

Using a dislocations-based model of slip and crystal plasticity, we show by illustrative examples that the experimentally observed increase in the yield stress of very thin metallic membranes most likely is due to the variation of grain orientations through the thickness of the membrane, as well as the surface hardness due to oxidation or contamination, both of which generally are insignificant...

Revealing anelasticity and structural rearrangements in nanoscale metallic glass films using in situ TEM diffraction

We used a novel diffraction-based method to extract the local, atomic-level elastic strain in nanoscale amorphous TiAl films during in situ transmission electron microscopy deformation, while simultaneously measuring the macroscopic strain. The complementary strain measurements revealed significant anelastic deformation, which was independently confirmed by strain rate experiments. Furthermore,...
