AbstractWe present a new method to calculate the response of dislocations to applied stress. This new method, called the dislocation treadmill, can be used to study the effect of vacancies, interstitials, stresses, strain rate, temperature etc., on the steady state velocity of the dislocation. We demonstrate the use of the method by calculating the response of a dislocation to a constant applied shear stress.

In the present paper the applicability of state and rate dependent friction laws in describing the phenomena of high speed slip at metal-on-metal interfaces is investigated. For the purpose of model validation, results of plate-impact pressure-shear friction experiments were conducted by Irfan in 1998 and Irfan and Prakash in 2000 using a Ti6Al4V and Carpenter Hampden tool-steel tribo pair are employed. In these experiments high normal pressures (1-3GPa) and slip speeds of approximately 50m∕s were attained during the high-speed slip event. Moreover, these experiments were designed to investigate the evolution of friction stress in response to step changes in normal pressure and also in the applied shear stress during the high-speed slip event. A step drop in normal pressure is observed to result in an exponential decay of the friction stress to a new steady-state characteristic of the current normal pressure and the current slip velocity. A step drop in applied shear stress is observed to lead to an initial drop in friction stress, which later increases toward a new steady-state friction stress level. In response to the step drop in applied shear stress the slip velocity initially increases and then decreases to a new steady-state level consistent with the new friction stress level. A modified rate and state dependent friction model that employs both velocity and normal stress dependent state variables is used to simulate the experimental results. A good correlation is found between the experimental results and the predictions of the proposed state and rate dependent friction model.

Laboratory-prepared fine-grained, initially isotropic polycrystalline ice samples were deformed under conditions of simple shear with simultaneous uniaxial compression at a constant temperature of −2.0°C. The aim was to investigate the effects of stress configuration on the flow rate of initially isotropic ice and on ice with subsequent stress and strain-induced anisotropy. Experiments were carried out for various combinations of shear and compression with shear stress ranging from 0 to 0.49 MPa and compressive stress ranging from 0 to 0.98 MPa, but such that for every experiment the octahedral shear stress was 0.4 MPa.The strain curves resulting from the experiments clearly exhibit minimum strain rates while the ice is still isotropic, and steady-state tertiary strain rates along with the development of steady-state anisotropic fabric patterns. With constant octahedral stress (root-mean-square of the principal stress deviators), the minimum octahedral shear-strain rate has no dependence on stress configuration. This result supports the hypothesis that the flow of isotropic ice is dependent only on the second invariant of the stress tensor. This fundamental assumption has been used to provide a general description of ice-flow behaviour independent of the stress configuration (e.g. Nye, 1953; Glen, 1958; Budd, 1969).For the tertiary flow of anisotropic ice, the octahedral strain rate is stress-state dependent as a consequence of the developed crystal-orientation fabric, which is also stress-state dependent, and which develops with strain and rotation. The present tests indicate that the enhancement factor for steady-state tertiary octahedral shear-strain rate depends on the shear or compression fraction and varies from about 10 for simple shear (with zero compression) to about 3 for uniaxial compression (with zero shear).

The first phase of an investigation of the vertical forces developed on a structure by a floating ice cover frozen to it is described. It is the objective of this work to develop the theoretical, experimental, and field aspects of vertically acting loads required for the more efficient design of structures subject to such loads. A load frame was constructed that would apply constant upward acting loads to wooden piles frozen into an ice cover composed mainly of snow ice. Load, ice temperatures, and movement of the pile in relation to the ice were measured.The time-dependent movement of the pile in relation to the ice exhibited creep characteristics, and these results were related to shear creep for grouted rod anchors in permafrost. Results of a previous study for WF steel H-beams in ice were also considered. The steady-state creep displacement rate for wooden piles in ice, rod anchors in permafrost, and WF steel H-beams in ice exhibited a comparable dependence on the constant applied shear stress. The steady-state creep displacement rate of a 100-mm wooden pile in snow ice at −3 °C and under a constant applied shear stress of 180 kN/m2 was about 1 mm/day.

A new method for solving the shear stress and the effective viscosity of Eyring shear-thinning fluid in thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) was proposed and applied to two models. Model 1 is the thermal EHL model with one-direction velocity, and model 2 is the spinning thermal EHL model in which the velocity varies with coordinates. Comparisons between the new and the existing method were carried out. Results show that only replacing the shear strain rate of model 1 with that of model 2, the shear stress and the effective viscosity of model 2 for Eyring shear-thinning fluid can be obtained. For model 1, results obtained with the two methods are the same. The new method can be qualified and applied into model 2. It is proved that the new method has higher efficiency for shear-thinning fluid than the existing method. Therefore, the new method is more efficient and can be used for spinning Eyring shear-thinning thermal EHL.

The strain rate sensitivity of a variety of materials is known to increase rapidly at strain rates exceeding ∼103 sec-1. This transition has most often in the past been attributed to a transition from thermally activated guide to viscous drag control. An important condition for imposition of dislocation drag effects is that the applied stress, σ, must be on the order of or greater than the threshold stress, which is the flow stress at OK. From Fig. 1, it can be seen for OFE Cu that the ratio of the applied stress to threshold stress remains constant even at strain rates as high as 104 sec-1 suggesting that there is not a mechanism transition but that the intrinsic strength is increasing, since the threshold strength is a mechanical measure of intrinsic strength. These measurements were made at constant strain levels of 0.2, wnich is not a guarantee of constant microstructure. The increase in threshold stress at higher strain rates is a strong indication that the microstructural evolution is a function of strain rate and that the dependence becomes stronger at high strain rates.

Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) is a mesoscopic fluid modeling method, which facilitates the simulation of the statics and dynamics of complex fluid systems at physically interesting length and time scales. Currently, there are various applications of DPD, such as colloidal suspensions, multi-phase flow, rheology of polymer chains, DNA macromolecular suspension, etc., which employ this technique for their numerical simulation. The DPD technique is capable of modeling macroscopic properties of the bulk flow very well, but difficulties arise if the flows are confined through wall-bounded regions, or when different boundaries simultaneously exist in the simulation domain. These boundaries cause negative effects on the macroscopic temperature, density and velocity profiles, as well as the shear stress and pressure distributions. In particular, the interaction of DPD particles with solid boundaries causes large density fluctuations at the near wall regions. This density distortion leads to pronounced fluctuations in the pressure and shear stress, which are not actually present. To overcome these serious deficiencies, we introduce a new method in this work, which uses a combination of randomly distributed wall particles and a novel reflection adaptation at the wall. This new methodology is simple to implement and incurs no additional computational cost. More importantly, it does not cause any distortion in the macroscopic properties. This novel reflection adaptation is a novel version of the bounce back reflection, which we shall term the bounce-normal reflection. The most important characteristic of this method is that it reduces density fluctuations near the boundaries without affecting the velocity and temperature profiles. This new method is easily applicable to any wall-bounded problem with stationary boundaries and it has a very good consistency with macroscopic features. The eventual objective of this numerical development work is to investigate suspension flow through micro/nano channels of fluidic NEMS/MEMS devices, with applications to DNA and protein separation. These micro/nano channel devices, consisting of many entropic traps, are designed and fabricated for the separation of proteins and long DNA molecules.

Ninety-two sets of observed dislocation densities for crept specimens of 21 types of ferritic/martensitic and austenitic steels, Al, W, Mo, and Mg alloys, Cu, and Ti including germanium single crystals were collected to verify an equation for evaluating the dislocation density during steady-state creep proposed by Tamura and Abe (2015). The activation energy, Qex, activation volume, Vex, and Larson–Miller constant, Cex, were calculated from the creep data. Using these parameter constants, the strain rate, and the temperature dependence of the shear modulus, a correction term, Gamma, was back-calculated from the observed dislocation density for each material. Gamma is defined in the present paper as a function of the temperature dependences of both the shear modulus and pre-exponential factor of the strain rate. The values of Gamma range from −394 to 233  and average 2.1 KJmol-1, which is a value considerably lower than the average value of Qex (410.4 KJmol-1), and values of Gamma are mainly within the range from 0 to 50 KJmol-1. The change in Gibbs free energy, Delta G, for creep deformation is obtained using the calculated value of , and the empirical relation Delta G~Delta GD is found, where Delta GD is the change in Gibbs free energy for self-diffusion of the main componential element of each material. Experimental data confirm the validity of the evaluation equation for the dislocation density.
