Surface Impedance Tensors of Textured Polycrystals

A formula for the surface impedance tensors of orthorhombic aggregates of cubic crystallites is given explicitly in terms of the material constants and the texture coefficients. The surface impedance tensor is a Hermitian second-order tensor which, for a homogeneous elastic half-space, maps the displacements given at the surface to the tractions needed to sustain them. This tensor plays a fundamental role in Stroh's formalism for anisotropic elasticity. In this paper we account for the effects of crystallographic texture only up to terms linear in the texture coefficients and give an explicit formula for the terms in the surface impedance tensor up to those linear in the texture coefficients. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Micro-experimental study of large plastic deformation for high-purity polycrystalline aluminum

This paper aims at revealing various micro- deformation characteristics, such as crystalline slip and grain boundary slide, which are recorded under scanning electronic microscope for high-purity aluminum tensile specimen at room temperature. These experimental data provide us direct evidence for shear localization near the grain boundary network via multi- directional grain boundary slide. The nonuniform deformation induced in the grain interiors would have decisive effect on the plastic flow and failure of polycrystalline materials.

On grain boundary character distribution in materials with cubic structure

From analysis of numerous experimental data on grain boundary (GB) statistics in polycrystals it has been established that certain groups of materials with cubic structure reveal similar GB character distributions (GBCD) (distribution of GBs by reciprocal density of coincidence sites ). It has been shown that GBCD can be described with an empirical low with different parameters for various groups. Several criteria for classification of materials by these groups (the stacking fault energy value, hierarchy of GB energies and mechanism of replacement of high-energy GBs with low-energy ones) have been considered. It has been found that peculiarities of electronic structure of materials are correlated with the classification proposed.     

Propagation and scattering of ultrasonic waves in polycrystals with arbitrary crystallite and macroscopic texture symmetries

A general ultrasonic attenuation model for a polycrystal with arbitrary macroscopic texture and triclinic ellipsoidal grains is described with proper accounting for the anisotropic Green’s function for the reference medium. The texture and the ellipsoidal grain frames in the model are independent and the wave propagation direction is arbitrary. The attenuation coefficients are obtained in the Born approximation accompanied by the Rayleigh and stochastic asymptotes. The scattering model displays statistical anisotropy due to two independent factors: (1) shape of the oriented grains and (2) preferred crystallographic orientation of the grains leading to macroscopic anisotropy of the homogenized reference medium. The model is applicable to most single phase polycrystalline materials that may occur as a result of thermomechanical manufacturing processes leading to different macrotextures and elongated-shaped grains. It predicts the strength of ultrasonic scattering and its dependence on frequency and propagation direction as a function of grain shape, grain crystallographic symmetry and macroscopic texture parameters and provides the texture-induced dependence of macroscopic ultrasonic velocity on propagation angle. It considers proper wave polarizations due to macroscopic anisotropy and scattering-induced transformations of waves with different polarizations. Competing effects of grain shape and texture on the attenuation are observed. In contrast to the macroscopically isotropic case, where in the stochastic regime the attenuation is highest in the direction of the longest ellipsoidal axis of the grain, the wave attenuation in the elongation direction may be suppressed or amplified by the texture with different effects on the quasilongitudinal and quasitransverse waves. The frequency behavior is also interestingly affected by texture: a hump in the total attenuation coefficient is found for the fast quasitransverse wave which is purely the result of macroscopic anisotropy and the existence of two quasitransverse waves; this hump is not observed in the macroscopically isotropic case. Striking differences of the texture effect on the directional dependences of the attenuation coefficients are found at low versus high frequencies.
