Statistically Stored Dislocations in Rate-independent Plasticity
نویسنده
چکیده
Work hardening in crystalline materials is related to the accumulation of statistically stored dislocations in low-energy structures. We present here a model which includes dislocation dynamics in the rate-independent setting for plasticity. Three basic physical features are taken into account: (i) the role of dislocation densities in hardening; (ii) the relations between the slip velocities and the mobility of gliding dislocations; (iii)the energetics of self and mutual interactions between dislocations. The model unifies a number of different approaches to the problem presented in literature. Reaction-diffusion equation with mobility depending on the slip velocities are obtained for the evolution of the dislocations responsible of hardening.

Strain G R a D I E N T Plasticity: Theory
-Dislocation theory is used to invoke a strain gradient theory of rate independent plasticity. Hardening is assumed to result from the accumulation of both randomly stored and geometrically necessary dislocations. The density of the geometrically necessary dislocations scales with the gradient of plastic strain. A deformation theory of plasticity is introduced to represent in a phenomenological...
متن کاملOn the recoverable and dissipative parts of higher order stresses in strain gradient plasticity
The expressions for the free energy in two recent formulations of strain gradient plasticity are extended to include the locked-in strain energy around statistically stored dislocations. This is accomplished by using the strain dependent factor h(ep), which represents the fraction of the rate of plastic work converted into heat in accordance with the latent heat measurements from classical meta...

One of the new research fields in plasticity is related to choosing a proper non-associated flow rule (NAFR), instead of the associated one (AFR), to predict the experimental results more accurately. The idea of the current research is derived from combining von Mises and Tresca criteria in the places of yield and plastic potential surfaces in rate-independent plasticity. This idea is implemen...

In the current research with novel first and second differentiations of a yield function, Euler forward along with Euler backward with its consistent elastic-plastic modulus are newly implemented in finite element program in rate-independent plasticity. An elastic-plastic internally pressurized thick walled cylinder is analyzed with four famous criteria including both pressure dependent and ind...
متن کاملGradient Theory for Plasticity via Homogenization of Discrete Dislocations
In this paper, we deduce a macroscopic strain gradient theory for plasticity from a model of discrete dislocations. We restrict our analysis to the case of a cylindrical symmetry for the crystal in exam, so that the mathematical formulation will involve a two dimensional variational problem. The dislocations are introduced as point topological defects of the strain fields, for which we compute ...
