TL;DR: In this paper, the grain size effect on deformation twinning and detwinning in face-centered cubic (fcc) metals is systematically overviewed, and an analytical model based on observed deformation physics in nc metals, i.e., grain boundary emission of dislocations, provides an explanation of the observed optimum grain size for twinning.
Abstract: This article systematically overviews the grain size effect on deformation twinning and detwinning in face-centered cubic (fcc) metals. With decreasing grain size, coarse-grained fcc metals become more difficult to deform by twinning, whereas nanocrystalline (nc) fcc metals first become easier to deform by twinning and then become more difficult, exhibiting an optimum grain size for twinning. The transition in twinning behavior from coarse-grained to nc fcc metals is caused by the change in deformation mechanisms. An analytical model based on observed deformation physics in nc metals, i.e., grain boundary emission of dislocations, provides an explanation of the observed optimum grain size for twinning in nc fcc metals. The detwinning process is caused by the interaction between dislocations and twin boundaries. Under a certain deformation condition, there exists a grain size range where the twinning process dominates over the detwinning process to produce the highest density of twins.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of a single laser shock processing (LSP) impact on the nano-hardness, elastic modulus, residual stress and phase transformation of ANSI 304 austenitic stainless steel are addressed.
Abstract: The aim of this article is to address the effects of a single laser shock processing (LSP) impact on the nano-hardness, elastic modulus, residual stress and phase transformation of ANSI 304 austenitic stainless steel. Residual stress distribution of the LSP-shocked region is determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) with sin 2 ψ method, and the micro-structural features in the near-surface layer are characterized by using cross-sectional optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). By comparing with the untreated samples, LSP can clearly improve nano-hardness, elastic modulus, and residual stress in the LSP-shocked region. The underlying enhancement mechanisms of LSP on nano-hardness, elastic modulus and residual stress of stainless steel ANSI 304 are also revealed. These studies may provide some important insights into surface modification for metal materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, a laser shock peening (LSP) surface treatment for improving fatigue resistance of metallic materials, in which high-amplitude beneficial residual stresses and structure changes can be produced.
Abstract: Laser shock peening (LSP) is an effective surface treatment for improving fatigue resistance of metallic materials, in which high-amplitude beneficial residual stresses and structure changes can be produced. In aero-engines, the compressor blade made of TC11 titanium alloy was prone to result in high cycle fatigue (HCF) failure. The aim of this paper was to utilize LSP with befitting parameters to improve the HCF performance of TC11 titanium alloy. Firstly, the microstructure and mechanical properties of TC11 titanium alloy with different LSP impacts were observed and measured via transmission electron microscope (TEM), residual stress tester and microhardness tester. High-density dislocations and nanostructure were observed in the surface layer. High-amplitude compressive residual stresses were induced and microhardness was remarkably improved. According to the effects, a set of LSP parameters with three LSP impacts was confirmed and applied on standard vibration specimens. Vibration fatigue tests were conducted to validate the strengthening effect on HCF strength. The fracture mechanism was analyzed by fracture analysis. The strengthening mechanism of LSP was indicated by establishing the relationship between fatigue characteristics and effects on residual stress and microstructural changes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared 2D continuum simulations with experiments measuring perturbation growth from the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in solid state samples and deduced the microscopic dislocation dynamics that underlies this 1D-3D lattice relaxation.
Abstract: Solid state experiments at extreme pressures (102100 GPa) and strain rates (10 6 –10 8 s 21 )a re being developed on high energy laser facilities, and offer the possibility for exploring new regimes of materials science. These extreme solid state conditions can be accessed with either shock loading or with a quasi-isentropic ramped pressure drive. Velocity interferometer measurements establish the high pressure conditions. Constitutive models for solid state strength under these conditions are tested by comparing 2D continuum simulations with experiments measuring perturbation growth from the Rayleigh–Taylor instability in solid state samples. Lattice compression, phase and temperature are deduced from extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements, from which the shock induced a2v phase transition in Ti and the a2e phase transition in Fe, are inferred to occur on subnanosec time scales. Time resolved lattice response and phase can also be measured with dynamic X-ray diffraction measurements, where the elastic– plastic (1D–3D) lattice relaxation in shocked Cu is shown to occur promptly (,1 ns). Subsequent large scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations elucidate the microscopic dislocation dynamics that underlies this 1D–3D lattice relaxation. Deformation mechanisms are identified by examining the residual microstructure in recovered samples. The slip-twinning threshold in single crystal Cu shocked along the [001] direction is shown to occur at shock strengths of ,20 GPa, whereas the corresponding transition for Cu shocked along the [134] direction occurs at higher shock strengths. This slip twinning threshold also depends on the stacking fault energy (SFE), being lower for low SFE materials. Designs have been developed for achieving much higher pressures, P.1000 GPa, in the solid state on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) laser.

TL;DR: An improved description of copper and ironcylinder impact (Taylor) test results has been obtained through the use of dislocation-mechanics-based constitutive relations in the Lagrangian material dynamics computer program EPIC•2.
Abstract: An improved description of copper‐ and iron‐cylinder impact (Taylor) test results has been obtained through the use of dislocation‐mechanics‐based constitutive relations in the Lagrangian material dynamics computer program EPIC‐2. The effects of strain hardening, strain‐rate hardening, and thermal softening based on thermal activation analysis have been incorporated into a reasonably accurate constitutive relation for copper. The relation has a relatively simple expression and should be applicable to a wide range of fcc materials. The effect of grain size is included. A relation for iron is also presented. It also has a simple expression and is applicable to other bcc materials but is presently incomplete, since the important effect of deformation twinning in bcc materials is not included. A possible method of acounting for twinning is discussed and will be reported on more fully in future work. A main point made here is that each material structure type (fcc, bcc, hcp) will have its own constitutive beha...

TL;DR: In this paper, a periodic relation between shear stress and atomic shear displacement is assumed to hold along the most highly stressed slip plane emanating from a crack tip, which allows some small slip displacement to occur near the tip in response to small applied loading and, with increase in loading, the incipient dislocation configuration becomes unstable and leads to a fully formed dislocation which is driven away from the crack.
Abstract: Dislocation nucleation from a stressed crack tip is analyzed based on the Peierls concept. A periodic relation between shear stress and atomic shear displacement is assumed to hold along the most highly stressed slip plane emanating from a crack tip. This allows some small slip displacement to occur near the tip in response to small applied loading and, with increase in loading, the incipient dislocation configuration becomes unstable and leads to a fully formed dislocation which is driven away from the crack. An exact solution for the loading at that nucleation instability is developed via the J -integral for the case when the crack and slip planes coincide, and an approximate solution is given when they do not. Solutions are also given for emission of dissociated dislocations, especially partial dislocation pairs in fcc crystals. The level of applied stress intensity factors required for dislocation nucleation is shown to be proportional to √γ us , where γ us , the unstable stacking energy, is a new solid state parameter identified by the analysis. It is the maximum energy encountered in the block-like sliding along a slip plane, in the Burgers vector direction, of one half of a crystal relative to the other. Approximate estimates of γ us are summarized and the results are used to evaluate brittle vs ductile response in fcc and bcc metals in terms of the competition between dislocation nucleation and Griffith cleavage at a crack tip. The predictions seem compatible with known behavior and also show that in many cases solids which are predicted to first cleave under pure mode I loading should instead first emit dislocations when that loading includes very small amounts of mode II and III shear. The analysis in this paper also reveals a feature of the near-tip slip distribution corresponding to the saddle point energy configuration for cracks that are loaded below the nucleation threshold, as is of interest for thermal activation.
