Phase field crystal study of deformation and plasticity in nanocrystalline materials.

چکیده
We introduce a modified phase field crystal (MPFC) technique that self-consistently incorporates rapid strain relaxation alongside the usual plastic deformation and multiple crystal orientations featured by the traditional phase field crystal (PFC) technique. Our MPFC formalism can be used to study a host of important phase transformation phenomena in material processing that require rapid strain relaxation. We apply the MPFC model to study elastic and plastic deformations in nanocrystalline materials, focusing on the "reverse" Hall-Petch effect. Finally, we introduce a multigrid algorithm for efficient numerical simulations of the MPFC model.

Finite Element Modeling of Strain Rate and Grain Size Dependency in Nanocrystalline Materials
Nanocrystalline materials show a higher strain-rate sensitivity in contrast to the conventional coarse-grained materials and a different grain size dependency. To explain these phenomenon, a finite element model is constructed that considers both grain interior and grain boundary deformation of nanocrystalline materials. The model consist of several crystalline cores with different orientations...
متن کاملGrain Refinement Efficiency of Multi-Axial Incremental Forging and Shearing: A Crystal Plasticity Analysis
Severe plastic deformation is a technical method to produce functional material with special properties such as high strength and specific physical properties. Selection of an efficient severe plastic deformation for grain refinement is a challenging field of study and using a modeling technique to predict the refinement efficiency has gained a lot of attentions. A comparative study was carried...
متن کاملStatistics of dislocation slip avalanches in nanosized single crystals show tuned critical behavior predicted by a simple mean field model.
We show that slowly sheared metallic nanocrystals deform via discrete strain bursts (slips), whose size distributions follow power laws with stress-dependent cutoffs. We show for the first time that plasticity reflects tuned criticality, by collapsing the stress-dependent slip-size distributions onto a predicted scaling function. Both power-law exponents and scaling function agree with mean-fie...

We investigate shock response of single crystal and nanocrystalline pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) with a coarse-grained model and molecular dynamics simulations, as regards mechanical hotspot formation in the absence or presence of grain boundaries (GBs). Single crystals with different orientations, and columnar nanocrystalline PETN with regular hexagonal, irregular hexagonal, and random ...
متن کاملCrystal plasticity analysis of deformation behavior of nanocrystalline nickel
Nanocrystalline (NC) metals with grain sizes <100 nm have attracted a lot of attention in the materials science fi eld for more than a few decades because of their ultra-high strength and hardness. Various experimental and computational studies indicate that dislocation-mediated plasticity prevails in NC metals when the grain size is larger than ~10 nm. Recent molecular dynamics (MD) simulation...
