Dislocation emission from interphase boundaries in deformed nanocomposites

详细

A theoretical model for emission of lattice dislocations from small-angle interphase boundaries characterized by both orientational and dilatational misfit in deformed nanocomposites is proposed. With allowance for the free surface of the material, the forces acting upon the dislocation structures of the interphase boundaries are calculated, through which the dependences of the critical shear stress for dislocation emission on different parameters of the boundary are found. It is shown that the influence of dilatational misfit and proximity of the interphase boundary to the free surface on dislocation emission is insignificant. It is established that the ability of interphase boundaries to emit dislocations is not uniform: emission of certain dislocations is facilitated as compared to ordinary small-angle grain boundaries, while emission of other dislocations may be inhibited.
