Laser compression of nanocrystalline tantalum

TL;DR: In this article, a constitutive model for the onset of twinning is applied to the shock compression configuration, based on a critical shear stress level, and the predicted threshold pressure at which the deviatoric component of stress for slip exceeds the one for twinning was calculated.

Dislocation density-based modeling of subsurface grain refinement with laser-induced shock compression

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical framework is developed to model the evolution of dislocation density and dislocation cell size using a dislocation-based material model, which is used to predict the micro-structural evolution of metallic components subjected to single or multiple LSP impacts.

Deformation and failure in extreme regimes by high-energy pulsed lasers: A review

TL;DR: The use of high-power pulsed lasers to probe the response of materials at pressures of hundreds of GPa up to several TPa, time durations of nanoseconds, and strain rates of 10 6 −10 1 ° ǫ s −1 is revealing novel mechanisms of plastic deformation, phase transformations, and even amorphization as discussed by the authors.

Laser shock-induced spalling and fragmentation in vanadium

TL;DR: In this article, the spall strength of vanadium under laser loading conditions was calculated from both VISAR pull-back signals and using spall thickness, and the results indicated a strong time dependence of the phenomenon, consistent with the nucleation and growth kinetics of voids.

Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of an Mg–Gd alloy subjected to surface mechanical attrition treatment

TL;DR: In this article, the deformation process and the formation mechanism of nano grains were investigated by using transmission electron microscopy, and the results showed that twinning dominates the initial stage of the plastic deformation when the dislocation slips are obstructed.

The onset of twinning in metals: a constitutive description

TL;DR: In this article, a constitutive expression for the twinning stress in BCC metals is developed using dislocation emission from a source and the formation of pile-ups, as rate-controlling mechanism.

Dislocation nucleation from a crack tip : an analysis based on the Peierls concept

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.

The size of a dislocation

TL;DR: In this paper, the size of a dislocation and critical shear stress for its motion were calculated for a single dislocation with respect to the size and motion of the dislocation.
