Breakdown of avalanche critical behaviour in polycrystalline plasticity

TL;DR: It is shown that polycrystalline plasticity is also characterized by intermittency and dislocation avalanches, and the restraint of large avalanches builds up internal stresses that push temporally the dynamical system into a supercritical state, off the scale-invariant critical regime, and trigger secondary avalanches in neighbouring grains.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the critical character of plasticity in metallic single crystals

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported acoustic emission (AE) experiments on hcp metallic single crystals and identified drift avalanches in relation with slip and twinning as the only sources of AE.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for universal intermittent crystal plasticity from acoustic emission and high-resolution extensometry experiments

TL;DR: In this article, the collective dislocation dynamics in various single crystals was investigated using acoustic emission and high-resolution extensometry, and it was shown that the dislocation avalanches are limited in size by a nontrivial finite size effect resulting from the lamellar character of avalanches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dislocation avalanches: Role of temperature, grain size and strain hardening

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the possible incidence of temperature and microstructure on the emerging pattern of the scale-free pattern of an avalanche, and reveal the role of grain boundaries as barriers to dislocation motion hindering the emergence of the scalesafe pattern.
Journal ArticleDOI

Directional coarsening of Ni-based superalloys: Computer simulation at the mesoscopic level

TL;DR: In this article, the role of anisotropic misfit relaxation by dislocations generated during creep was modeled and a 3D computer simulation was developed to describe both the morphologies and the kinetics of the phenomenon.
