Scaling Effects in Reversible Microplastic Strain
AI summary Read the abstract
This study analyzed reversible microplastic (anelastic) strain as a function of stress amplitude and temperature using non-linear internal friction measurements in various materials. The research examined both dislocation-related and twin boundary-related anelastic behavior, revealing scaling effects in the reversible microplastic strain response.
Experimental studies of the non-linear internal friction is an efficient tool to derive reversible (microplastic or anelastic) dislocation or twin-related strain as a function of stress amplitude or temperature. We analyze here the anelastic behaviour (both dislocation and twin boundary related) of different crystalline solids based on the non-linear internal friction data obtained by different techniques. We give experimental evidence that the microplastic reversible strain is heterogeneous in space and intermittent in time, just like its macroscopic irreversible counterpart. It is shown that the stress - anelastic strain response for different materials can demonstrate both a scale-free power law (jamming-like dynamics) and typical depinning critical behaviour. We found that in the case of jamming-like dynamics, the stress exponent can vary substantially for the dislocation microplastic strain in different crystals, but is universal for microplastic strain related to twin boundary motion in a variety of martensitic structures.

Amplitude dependence of the internal friction in a Pb-62% Sn alloy
AI summary Read the abstract
The amplitude-dependent internal friction of a Pb-62% Sn alloy was measured across its microplastic and superplastic states using flexural vibration, and a phenomenological model treating plasticity as a hybrid relaxation-hysteresis process was developed. The cyclic strain-hardening exponent was found to differ significantly between the microplastic and superplastic regimes.

AI summary Read the abstract
This study unified the analysis of microplastic deformation kinetics in metals by connecting the plastic potential — a thermodynamic quantity — directly to the observable microplastic strain events that precede macroscopic yielding. The work provides a framework for understanding the fundamental relationship between atomic-scale thermally activated flow and bulk plastic behavior.
