The paper presents a two-dimensional approach for simulating primary static recrystallization, which is based on coupling viscoplastic crystal plasticity finite-element model with probabilistic kinetic cellular automaton. accounts crystallographic slip and the rotation of lattice during plastic deformation. uses space time as independent variables orientation accumulated dependent variables. ambiguity in selection active systems avoided by using formulation that assumes rate system related...
We present a multiscale strength model in which depends on pressure, strain rate, temperature, and evolving dislocation density. Model construction employs an information passing paradigm to span from the atomistic level continuum level. Simulation methods overall hierarchy include density functional theory, molecular statics, dynamics, based approaches. Given nature of subcontinuum simulations upon is based, particularly appropriate rates excess 104 s−1. Strength parameters are obtained...
Experimental results showing significant reductions from classical in the Rayleigh-Taylor instability growth rate due to high pressure effective lattice viscosity are presented. Using a laser created ramped drive, vanadium samples compressed and accelerated quasi-isentropically at $\ensuremath{\sim}1\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{Mbar}$ peak pressures, while maintaining sample solid state. Comparisons with simulations theory indicate that pressure, strain conditions trigger phonon drag mechanism,...
Nonequilibrium molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations show that shock-induced void collapse in copper occurs by emission of shear loops. These loops carry away the vacancies which comprise void. The growth continues even after they collide and form sessile junctions, creating a hardened region around collapsing scenario seen our differs from current models assume prismatic loop is responsible for collapse. We propose dislocation-based model gives excellent agreement with stress threshold found...
The effect of material path dependent hardening on neck development and the onset ductile failure is analyzed numerically. calculations are carried out using an elastic-viscoplastic constitutive relation that has isotropic kinematic behaviors as limiting cases accounts for weakening due to growth micro-voids. Final incorporated into model by dependence plastic potential void volume fraction. Results obtained both axisymmetric plane strain tension. Failure found initiate coalescence at center...
Experimental results showing significant reductions from classical in the Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) instability growth rate due to high pressure effective lattice viscosity metal foils are presented. Stabilization of RT (RTI) by ablation and density gradients has been studied for decades. The regime stabilized RTI material strength at is new.
