Dislocation patterning: The role of climb in meso-scale simulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Simulation of parallel dynamics of edge dislocations in a 2D hexagonal lattice is carried out on a large scale by means of coarse graining, in the absence of external strain. In order to study the effect of climb on dislocation pattern formation, we allowed (i) isotropic (ii) biased (iii) only glide mobility. Moreover we annihilated dislocations with opposite Burgers vectors close to each other. The main result is that in cases (i) and (ii) cellular structure emerges, for (ii) this happens after a longer transient, while (iii) gives a diffuse looking pattern, similar to former single slip plane simulations. In the course of the evolution of dislocation number and cell size they statistically well satisfy Holt’s relation. The cell structure found appears to have a characteristic cell size, in contrast to fractal examples in the presence of mechanical strain. Despite the simplicity of our model, the results are consistent with the recently detected low-density dislocation patterns in melt-grown, non-post-deformed crystals. 2006 Elsevier B.V.

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 کاملFast, vacancy-free climb of prismatic dislocation loops in bcc metals
Vacancy-mediated climb models cannot account for the fast, direct coalescence of dislocation loops seen experimentally. An alternative mechanism, self climb, allows prismatic dislocation loops to move away from their glide surface via pipe diffusion around the loop perimeter, independent of any vacancy atmosphere. Despite the known importance of self climb, theoretical models require a typicall...
متن کاملMeso-scale Modeling of Tension Analysis of Pure and Intra-ply Hybrid Woven Composites Using Finite Element Method
One of the key issues associated with using of composites in various applications is their tensile behavior. The tensile behavior of a composite material is strongly influenced by the properties of its constituents and their distribution. This paper focuses on gaining some insights into the tensile process of pure and hybrid woven composite reinforced with brittle and ductile yarns. For this pu...
متن کاملPredicting dislocation climb and creep from explicit atomistic details.
Here we report kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of dislocation climb in heavily deformed, body-centered cubic iron comprising a supersaturation of vacancies. This approach explicitly incorporates the effect of nonlinear vacancy-dislocation interaction on vacancy migration barriers as determined from atomistic calculations, and enables observations of diffusivity and climb over time scales and te...
