AbstractWe propose a model to study the plasticity of ice single crystals by numerical simulations. The model includes the long-range character of the interaction among dislocations, as well as the possibility of mutual annihilation of these line defects characterized by its Burgers vector. A multiplication mechanism representing the activation of Frank-Read sources due to dislocation pinning is also introduced in the model.With our approach we are able to probe the dislocation patterns, which result from the dislocation dynamics. Furthermore, our results exhibit features characteristic of driven dynamic critical phenomena such as scaling behavior, and avalanche dynamics. Some of these results account for the experimental findings reported for ice single crystals under creep deformation, like the power-law distributions of the acoustic emission intensity observed sistematically in experiments.

AbstractIn the near vicinity of the [021] load orientation, γ-TiAl deforms via ordinary dislocations (Burgers vector b = 1/2<110]). As for deformation by <110] dislocations, the flow stress shows a peak at about 600°C. Results of an extensive microstructural investigation aimed at identifying the origin of this mechanical anomaly are presented. The analysis was conducted on single crystals oriented for single slip. It confirmed that ordinary dislocations tend to align themselves along the screw direction. This preferential line direction becomes gradually accentuated as the deformation temperature is raised up to the peak temperature. This effect is accompanied by a strong tendency towards forming cusps, but there is indication that the immobilisation along the screw direction takes place prior to dislocation pinning. In the vicinity of the peak temperature, screw dislocations gather in the form of bundles. No clear correlation is found between the temperature dependence of the flow stress and that of the density of pinning points. The relationship between these microstructural findings and the occurrence of a flow stress anomaly is discussed.

The authors investigated periodic potential changes measured on oriented sections of Al single crystals during spontaneous dissolution in dilute aqueous solutions of KOH, with the aim to find optimum conditions for the formation of potential oscillations. It was found that this phenomenon is related with the kinetics of the reaction investigated, whose rate also changed periodically. The mechanism of the oscillations is discussed in view of the experimental findings.

During plastic deformation, dislocation boundaries are formed and orientation differences across them arise. Two different causes lead to the formation of two kinds of deformation-induced boundaries: a statistical trapping of dislocations in incidental dislocation boundaries and a difference in the activation of slip systems on both sides of geometrically necessary boundaries. On the basis of these mechanisms, the occurrence of disorientations across both types of dislocation boundaries is modeled by dislocation dynamics. The resulting evolution of the disorientation angles with strain is in good agreement with experimental observations. The theoretically obtained distribution functions for the disorientation angles describe the experimental findings well and explain their scaling behavior. The model also predicts correlations between disorientations in neighboring boundaries, and evidence for their existence is presented.
