| Abstract: | A theoretical model is suggested which describes the generation of lattice perfect, lattice partial and grain boundary dislocation loops (DLs) at pre-existent DLs in mechanically loaded nanocrystalline materials (NCMs). The energy characteristics of various modes of the DL generation are calculated and compared. With these calculations and comparison, the two basic ranges of the grain size in NCMs are revealed each is characterized by its specific set of effectively operating modes of the DL generation and plastic deformation. The role of the DL generation in plastic and superplastic deformation processes in NCMs is discussed. |
