Multiscale Phenomena in Materials{Experiments and Modeling Chairs (original) (raw)

In-situ transmission electron microscopy of thin lms systems provides an ideal experimental laboratory for the study of dislocation motion and dislocation-defect interactions in materials. Through careful consideration of the sample geometry and calibration of the experimental conditions it is possible to obtain accurate quantitative information about dislocation velocities, interaction stresses and

Microdiffraction Experiments and Modeling for Analyzing Multiscale Dislocation Ensembles in Materials

MRS Proceedings, 2003

The intensity distribution of Laue diffraction is analyzed as a function of local misorientation. We show how unpaired dislocations alter the white beam Laue patterns for isolated dislocations, for dislocation walls, and for a combination of both. We consider the effect of different statistically and geometrically necessary dislocation densities on the intensity distribution along and perpendicular to the Laue streak. A 3D x-ray crystal microscope is used to analyze the complicated plastic-elastic field in a grain of a Ni polycrystalline sample during in-situ uniaxial pulling. A change of dislocation activity with depth is demonstrated. The dislocation slip systems and their densities are determined at various depths. The model parameters are used to simulate the whole Laue pattern including details about the contours for specific Laue spots; good agreement is found between simulated and experimental contours.

On In-Situ Study of Dislocation/Grain Boundary Interactions Using X-ray Topography and Tem

MRS Proceedings, 1993

The advantages and disadvantages of in-situ straining using both synchrotron x-ray topography and transmission electron microscopy for examining dislocation/grain boundary interactions are compared and examples given of the use of each technique. For x-ray topography, studies on ice polycrystals are discussed. Ice is well-suited for x-ray topographic studies since it has both low absorption and can be produced with a low dislocation density. Stress concentrations have been observed at grain boundaries in ice which are partially relieved by generation of 1/3<1120> dislocations. Interestingly, grain boundary generation of dislocations completely overwhelms lattice generation mechanisms. Examples of transmission electron microscope in-situ straining studies include dislocation/grain boundary interactions in L12-structured and B2-structured intermetallics. Slip transmission across grain boundaries by dislocations gliding ahead of an advancing crack is a principal feature of these ...

Advances in Discrete Dislocations Dynamics and Multiscale Modeling

Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology, 2009

Discrete dislocation dynamics is a numerical tool developed to model the plasticity of crystalline materials at an intermediate length scale, between the atomistic modeling and the crystal plasticity theory. In this review we show, using examples from the literature, how a discrete dislocation model can be used either in a hierarchical or a concurrent multiscale framework. In the last section of this review, we show through the uniaxial compression of microcrystal application, how a concurrent multiscale model involving a discrete dislocation framework can be used for predictive purposes.
