Examples of the observation and analysis of dislocation cores and dislocation fine structure in metals and intermetallics using high resolution transmission electron microscopy are discussed. Specific examples include the 60 degrees dislocations in aluminu ...
Multiscale modeling, including molecular dynamics (MD) and discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) methods, appears as a significant tool for the description of plasticity and mechanical properties of materials. This research concerns the influence of irradiat ...
Dislocation and grain-boundary processes contribute significantly to plastic behaviour in polycrystalline metals, but a full understanding of the interaction between these processes and their influence on plastic response has yet to be achieved. The couple ...
The strengthening of Al by Mg solute atoms is investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) studies of single dislocations moving through a field of randomly placed solutes. The MD method permits explicit treatment of "core" effects, dislocation pinning and d ...
The mechanisms of deformation and failure in Al-Si nanocomposites, formed by adding Si particles to Al nanocrystalline materials, are investigated using molecular dynamics. The deformation and fracture mechanisms are found to be different in the Al-Si comp ...
We investigate the plastic flow properties at low and high temperature of the tempered martensitic steel Eurofer97. We show that below room temperature, where the Peierls friction on the screw dislocation is active, it is necessary to modify the usual Tayl ...
Molecular simulations using the quasicontinuum method are performed to understand the mechanical response at the nanoscale of grain boundaries (GBs) under simple shear. The energetics and mechanical strength of 18 Sigma (I 10) symmetric tilt GBs and two Si ...
Mode I crack growth along some grain boundaries of copper embrittled by solute segregation shows strong anisotropy. For instance, growth along the direction on the symmetrical tilt boundary has been reported to occur by intergranular brittle fracture, wher ...
This work investigates selective dissolution of n-InP(1 0 0) triggered by surface defects. Nanometer size grooves were produced by sensitizing an InP surface with a mechanical contact patterning technique, i.e. nanoscratching at low loading forces at the t ...
Small volume deformation can produce two types of plastic instability events. The first involves dislocation nucleation as a dislocation by dislocation event and occurs in nanoparticles or bulk single crystals deformed by atomic force microscopy or small n ...
