Plastic instabilities and dislocation patterns

From MaRDI portal





Strain localization and dislocation microstructure formation are typical features of plastic deformation of metals and alloys. Plastic deformation occurs due to the glide of dislocations, and, although dislocation distributions are rather uniform at their onset, they usually become unstable when deformation proceeds, and then undergo successive transitions towards various types of microstructures such as cells, deformation bands, persistent slip bands, labyrinth structures, etc. This phenomenon is experimentally well documented, but, despite a huge number of theoretical investigations and modelling attempts, it is still poorly understood. Here, the author presents a mesoscopic approach based on rate theories, and describes the formation of dislocation microstructure induced by plastic instabilities.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0958.00040].
