2017 An Evaluation of Nanoindentation-Induced Displacement Burst and Collective Dislocation Motion Based on Discrete Dislocation Mechanics and Elastic Energy of Dislocations

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers built computational models to explain the "displacement burst" — a sudden jump in material deformation during nanoindentation — as arising from the collective emission of dislocations in crystalline materials. This work improves understanding of the earliest stages of plastic deformation at the nanoscale.

Abrupt growth of displacement observed in the relationship between indent load and indent depth in nanoindentation of crystalline materials, so-called displacement burst, has been recognized as one of the representative examples for the nanoplastic behavior. This behavior corresponds to the early stage of the plastic deformation and has greatly been influenced by the collective dislocation emission. In the present paper, we construct two models; first one is the computational model of dislocation mechanics, and second one is simplified energetic model of the first displacement burst. As the result of these models, it is found that surface step corresponding to each dislocation causes significant displacement burst and that more than one hundred high-density dislocations are emitted simultaneously.

Theoretical Investigation of the Displacement Burst Observed in Nanoindentation by Collective Dislocation Loops Nucleation Model

AI summary Read the abstract

A simplified theoretical model is presented to predict the first "displacement burst" seen during nanoindentation of crystals, treating it as the collective nucleation of dislocation loops. The model provides a quantitative framework for interpreting nanoplastic behavior in pristine crystalline materials.

Nanoindentation-Induced Collective Dislocation Behavior and Nanoplasticity

AI summary Read the abstract

The crystallographic dependence of displacement burst behavior — abrupt plastic deformation events during nanoindentation — was characterized in single-crystal aluminum and copper with three surface orientations. The results show that the critical indent load for the first displacement burst depends strongly on crystal surface orientation, reflecting the underlying dislocation nucleation mechanisms.
