Dislocation Lecture Summary for 22.71 on 10_4_2012 Elliott Fray
Outline • What is a dislocation? • Localized and Non-localized deformation • Characterizing dislocations • Dislocation types • Stress field of a dislocation • Edge type , Screw Type • Slip Systems • Applications
What is a dislocation? • A dislocation is a discontinuity at which a material’s crystal lattice shifts from an un-sheared to a sheared state • Dislocations enable a material to deform under shear stress levels ~ 1/10,000 of its theoretical yield stress
Localized and Non-Localized Deformation • Crystals deform by dislocations 1 atomic layer thin () • Energy stored in the material after deformation is localized around the dislocations Dislocation Line
Characterizing Dislocations • Burgers Vector • The burgers vector is a property of a dislocation which characterizes its orientation • The burgers vector closes the circuit in loop in an imperfect crystal
Characterizing Dislocations • Burgers Vector • Dislocations with the same signs tend to repel, dislocations with the opposite signs tend to attract Dislocation Line ) ↔) Same, Stress fields repel one another ) ↔) Opposite, Stress fields repel attract one another
A few Dislocation Types Screw Dislocation Edge Dislocation • Edge • b is perpendicular to the dislocation line • Screw • b is parallel to the dislocation line b b Mixed
Stress Field of a Dislocation • Screw Dislocation • Edge Dislocation • Packing of dislocations is limited by the range of the stress field surrounding a dislocation (R1) where Ro~b
Slip Systems • Materials tend to slip first along the closest packed plane • Smallest burgers vector: b • Largest spacing between planes: do • Alternatively one can find the directions of slip from the line tension Close packed plane of FCC Crystal ~ or where α= 0.5-1 Minimize this to find slip systems →
Applications • FCC materials tend to yield more before failing than BCC systems due to the large number of possible slip directions • FCC Aluminum Alloys are commonly used in nuts for traditional rock climbing Nut Placing gear during trad climbing
