Effect of the density of twinning dislocations on the configuration of stress fields near a wedge twin with different shapes of the boundaries

The effect of changes in density of twinning dislocations on one boundary of the wedge twin on the configuration of the stress fields generated by the latter is considered on the basis of a macroscopic dislocation model. Specific features of violation of symmetry of the stress-field distribution near the wedge twin with different shapes of the boundaries are demonstrated for the case of different densities of twinning dislocations on the twin boundaries. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 49, No. 5, pp. 199–204, September–October, 2008.     

广义双剪粘弹塑性本构模型在渤海海冰动力学中的应用

在连续介质力学基础上建立了一个广义双剪粘弹塑性海冰动力学本构模型。该模型在海冰屈服前采用Kelvin-Vogit粘弹性模型,考虑中间主应力和静水压力对海冰屈服的影响选用广义双剪应力屈服准则作为海冰屈服判据,屈服后采用相关联的正则流动法则。采用该本构模型对渤海海冰动力过程进行了48小时数值模拟,讨论了辽东湾海冰的厚度、密集度、冰速和主应力的分布规律,其中海冰厚度分布与卫星遥感资料符合良好,从而有效地验证了该广义双剪粘弹塑性本构模型在海冰动力学中的可靠性。

Deformation behaviour of body centered cubic iron nanopillars containing coherent twin boundaries

Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to understand the role of twin boundaries on deformation behaviour of body-centred cubic (BCC) iron (Fe) nanopillars. The twin boundaries varying from 1 to 5 providing twin boundary spacing in the range 8.5–2.8 nm were introduced perpendicular to the loading direction. The simulation results indicated that the twin boundaries in BCC Fe play a contrasting role during deformation under tensile and compressive loadings. During tensile deformation, a large reduction in yield stress was observed in twinned nanopillars compared to perfect nanopillar. However, the yield stress exhibited only marginal variation with respect to twin boundary spacing. On the contrary, a decrease in yield stress with increase in twin boundary spacing was obtained during compressive deformation. This contrasting behaviour originates from difference in operating mechanisms during yielding and subsequent plastic deformation. It has been observed that the deformation under tensile loading was dominated mainly by twin growth mechanism. On the other hand, the deformation was dominated by nucleation and slip of full dislocations under compressive loading. The twin boundaries offer a strong repulsive force on full dislocations resulting in the yield stress dependence on twin boundary spacing. The occurrence of twin–twin interaction during tensile deformation and dislocation–twin interaction during compressive deformation has been discussed.     

Monoclinic‐to‐orthorhombic phase transition of the hexamethylenetetramine–2‐methylbenzoic acid (1/2) cocrystal with temperature‐dependent dynamic molecular disorder

As a function of temperature, the hexamethylenetetramine–2‐methylbenzoic acid (1/2) cocrystal, C₆H₁₂N₄·2C₈H₈O₂, undergoes a reversible structural phase transition. The orthorhombic high‐temperature phase in the space group Pccn has been studied in the temperature range between 165 and 300 K. At 164 K, a t₂ phase transition to the monoclinic subgroup P2₁/c space group occurs; the resulting twinned low‐temperature phase was investigated in the temperature range between 164 and 100 K. The domains in the pseudomerohedral twin are related by a twofold rotation corresponding to the matrix (100/00/00). Systematic absence violations represent a sensitive criterium for the decision about the correct space‐group assignment at each temperature. The fractional volume contributions of the minor twin domain in the low‐temperature phase increases in the order 0.259 (2) → 0.318 (2) → 0.336 (2) → 0.341 (3) as the temperature increases in the order 150 → 160 → 163 → 164 K. The transformation occurs between the nonpolar point group mmm and the nonpolar point group 2/m, and corresponds to a ferroelastic transition or to a t₂ structural phase transition. The asymmetric unit of the low‐temperature phase consists of two hexamethylenetetramine molecules and four molecules of 2‐methylbenzoic acid; it is smaller by a factor of 2 in the high‐temperature phase and contains two half molecules of hexamethylenetetramine, which sit across twofold axes, and two molecules of the organic acid. In both phases, the hexamethylenetetramine residue and two benzoic acid molecules form a three‐molecule aggregate; the low‐temperature phase contains two of these aggregates in general positions, whereas they are situated on a crystallographic twofold axis in the high‐temperature phase. In both phases, one of these three‐molecule aggregates is disordered. For this disordered unit, the ratio between the major and minor conformer increases upon cooling from 0.567 (7):0.433 (7) at 170 K via 0.674 (6):0.326 (6) and 0.808 (5):0.192 (5) at 160 K to 0.803 (6):0.197 (6) and 0.900 (4):0.100 (4) at 150 K, indicating temperature‐dependent dynamic molecular disorder. Even upon further cooling to 100 K, the disorder is retained in principle, albeit with very low site occupancies for the minor conformer.     

Length scale effect on the deformation microstructures of grown-in twins in copper

Electrodeposited copper samples composed of columnar grains subdivided by alternating twin/matrix (T/M) lamellae have been cold rolled to 30–85% reduction in thickness. The thickness of the T/M lamellae varies over a wide range from a few nanometres to about 1?μm. The deformation microstructure has been characterized systematically. In thin T/M lamellae (below 50–100?nm) the deformation behaviours differ significantly from that of thick T/M lamellae, as the dislocation activity is concentrated at the T/M boundaries illustrated by the observations of stacking faults and Shockley partial dislocations. In thick T/M lamellae (100–1000?nm), the deformation microstructure is related to the grain orientation as also observed previously in deformed single crystals and polycrystals with a grain size at the micrometre scale. The experiment therefore suggests that the universal structural characteristics of deformation microstructure can be extended one order of magnitude from about 5?μm to the sub-micrometre scale (about 0.5?μm).     

Growth and defect studies of CdTe particles

The paper reports the epitaxial growth of cadmium telluride (CdTe) particles by thermal deposition on cleaved planes of (001)NaCl and (001)KBr. Using high resolution transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction it was shown that CdTe particles could have different orientation and phase (cubic or hexagonal) depending on the substrate temperature. Their most common defects are twins and stacking faults.
