ClearPlastic intermittency during cyclic loading: From dislocation patterning to microcrack initiation
This physics study examines how dislocation patterns in metals under cyclic loading lead to fatigue crack initiation at the microscale. It is a materials science paper studying microscale plastic deformation in metals, unrelated to environmental microplastics.
Unravelling dislocation networks in metals
Researchers developed a detailed model to measure and describe the network of tiny defects called dislocations inside metal materials, which affect how metals deform under stress. By linking dislocation density and segment length to mechanical test data, the model improves understanding of how metals behave during plastic deformation — the irreversible bending or shaping of metal.
Quantification of dislocation structures from anelastic deformation behaviour
This materials science study analyzes the pre-yield deformation behavior of iron and low-alloy steel, modeling how dislocations move reversibly before permanent plastic deformation begins. The research is relevant to structural materials engineering but has no connection to microplastics or environmental health.
Fluctuations in crystalline plasticity
This theoretical physics paper reviews the statistical patterns of intermittent plastic deformation events—called dislocation avalanches—in crystalline metals at the micro- and nanoscale. The term 'microplastic' here refers to a materials science concept about deformation behavior, not environmental plastic particles.
