Ordinary dislocation configurations in high Nb-containing TiAl alloy deformed at high temperatures

Abstract

High Nb-containing TiAl (Nb–TiAl) alloys possess mechanical properties at elevated temperatures superior to conventional TiAl alloys. However, the strengthening mechanisms induced by Nb addition have been discussed controversial for a long time. In the present study, the dislocation structures in a polycrystalline high Nb–TiAl alloy after tensile tests at 700 and 900 °C were investigated by transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation. The results show that abundant double cross slip of ordinary dislocations is activated in the samples deformed at 700 °C. The dislocations are pinned at the jogs and numerous dipoles are observed. Debris can be commonly observed in the vicinity of screw dislocations. Trace analysis shows that the cross-slip plane is (1?1?0)γ at 700 °C but (1?1?1)γ octahedral plane at 900 °C. Three-dimensional (3D) dislocation structures, caused by cross-slip and annihilation of ordinary dislocations, were observed along the screw orientation. The dipoles and debris produced by high-temperature cross slip can be important for the strengthening of high Nb–TiAl alloys.     

Spinodal dewetting of thin liquid films at soft interfaces

We study theoretically the behavior of nanoscopic liquid films L (thickness e) intercalated between a solid S and a rubber R (elastic modulus μ). Thickness modulations involve a healing length , which results from a competition between elastic and disjoining pressure. With van der Waals interactions, , where a is a molecular size and h₀ the rubber capillary length ( , interfacial tension). If the Hamaker constant of the intercalated liquid is negative, the film dewets by amplification of peristaltic fluctuations (“spinodal dewetting”). The typical size of the contacts is predicted to scale like for films of thicknesses . The rise time of the fastest mode, predicted to scale like , should be very sensitive to the film thickness.

Dislocation Structure and Strain Localisation in Nickel Single Crystals Cyclically Deformed at 77 K

An experimentally based investigation is presented of the dislocation structure and of glide effects occurring in single slip oriented nickel crystals cyclically deformed at 77 K until saturation of the stress amplitude. Special attention is paid to a comparison of slip and structure phenomena observed in fatigue tests at 77 K and those found after cycling at room temperature (RT) and elevated temperatures. At strain amplitudes within the plateau region of the cyclic stress‐strain curve, where at higher temperatures in the crystal two structure types co‐exist, at 77 K nearly the entire specimen volume is occupied by one structure “phase”, a dislocation‐“condensed” wall configuration. On different scale levels the main characteristics of this extended wall structure were found to be independent of the imposed amplitude, and they turned out to fit in the temperature dependence of the structure features of the ladder‐like wall phase characterising the zones of intense slip (persistent slip bands) at RT and elevated temperatures. At 77 K the strain is localised in narrow slip bands (SBs) in the same way as at higher temperatures, although there is no indication of a “two‐phase” structure. From the experimental findings it is concluded that WINTERs “two‐phase” model remains valid, when averaging the plastic strain values over all SBs and over a sufficient number of cycles.     

Constitutive equations from Gaussian slip-link network theories in polymer melt rheology

Allowing for flow-dependent slip in the junctions of a temporary junction network, we derive the constitutive equations of temporary slip-link networks. The stress tensor is determined by three material functions, namely, the time-dependent linear-viscoelastic memory function, and two strain-dependent functions describing slip and disentanglement of network strands. Slip and disentanglement are related via a mass balance for network strands.By specifying slip and disentanglement, the constitutive equations of Lodge, Wagner, Doi-Edwards, and Marrucci are shown to be special temporary slip-link constitutive equations. To demonstrate the predictive power of temporary slip-link network theories, we compare predictions and extensional flow data with step change in flow direction.Dedicated to Professor Arthur S. Lodge on the occasion of his 70th birthday and his retirement from the University of Wisconsin.     

疏水表面滑移流动及减阻特性的格子Boltzmann方法模拟

采用格子Boltzmann方法研究了固体壁面对流体的作用强度与其润湿性的关系,在此基础上进一步模拟了疏水表面微通道内的流体流动,获得了润湿性对疏水表面滑移流动及减阻特性的影响规律,证实了疏水表面表观滑移的存在性并揭示了其产生机理.结果表明,疏水性作用在疏水表面的近壁区诱导了一个低密度层,而表观滑移则发生在低密度层上.表观滑移是疏水表面具有减阻作用的直接原因,减阻效果随滑移长度的增大而增大.对于特定的流体系统,滑移长度是疏水表面的固有属性,仅是壁面润湿性的单一函数,而与流动本身的性质无关.

Analytical and numerical studies of the boundary slip in the immersed boundary‐thermal lattice Boltzmann method

We analytically and numerically investigate the boundary slip, including the velocity slip and the temperature jump, in immersed boundary‐thermal lattice Boltzmann methods (IB‐TLBMs) with the two‐relaxation‐time collision operator. We derive the theoretical equation for the relaxation parameters considering the effect of the advection velocity on the temperature jump of the IB‐TLBMs. The analytical and numerical solutions demonstrate that the proposed iterative correction methods without the computational cost of the sparse matrix solver reduce the boundary slip and boundary‐value deviation as effectively as the implicit correction method for any relaxation time. Because the commonly used multi‐direct forcing method does not consider the contributions of the body force to the momentum flux, it cannot completely eliminate the boundary slip because of the numerical instability for a long relaxation time. Both types of proposed iterative correction methods are more numerically stable than the implicit correction method. In simulations of flow past a circular cylinder and of natural convection, the present iterative correction methods yield adequate results without the errors of the velocity slip, the temperature jump, and the boundary‐value deviation for any relaxation time parameters and for any number of Lagrangian points per length. The combination of the present methods and the two‐relaxation‐time collision operator is suitable for simulating fluid flow with thermal convection in the multiblock method in which the relaxation time increases in inverse proportion to the grid size.
