Description de la préplasticité par la théorie des phénomènes thermiquement activés

AI summary Read the abstract

This paper presents a theoretical framework describing microplastic and preplastic deformation in materials as resulting from thermally activated motion of a low density of mobile dislocations. The theory relates dislocation density, activation volume, and stress-strain curve slope, proposing stress relaxation experiments as a measurement approach.

A unifying analysis of the microplastic kinetics with the operative plastic potential

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.

Determination of the ductile-brittle transition temperature from the microplastic-strain rate

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers investigated whether the temperature at which the microplastic strain rate peaks in steel can serve as a practical indicator of the ductile-brittle transition temperature. Results showed this correlation holds for both cast and deformed steels, offering a new non-destructive method to assess fracture risk.
