At the microscales, the DDD simulations are responsible for capturing the evolution of dislocation structures; at the nanoscales, the MD simulations are responsible for obtaining the GB energy and ISF energy which are then transferred hierarchically to the DDD level. In the present model, four kinds of dislocafion-GB interactions, i.e. transmission, absorption, re-emission and reflection, are all considered. By this methodology, the compression of a Cu mi- cro-sized bi-crystal pillar is studied. We investigate the characteristic mechanical behavior of the bi-crystal compared with that of the single-crystal. Moreover, the comparison between the present penetrable model of GB and the conventional impenetrable model also shows the accuracy and efficiency of the present model.展开更多

Based on the image method, the original 3-layer system is firstly decomposed into three infinite homogenous systems. The image dislocation densities used as unknowns are then strategically distributed in order to satisfy the boundary conditions. The resulting governing equations are singular Cauchy integral ones. Removing the singular terms yields non-linear Fredhom integral equations of the second kind. The obtained stress fields satisfy the boundary conditions, i.e., the traction free condition on the free surface and continuous conditions across the interfaces. Also, a comparison with previous results is made and good agreement is achieved. Numerical investigations show that under the plain strain condition, layer thickness and dislocation position play stronger roles in the stress fields than crystallographic orientation, and these effects more significantly affect the stress fields caused by an edge dislocation than by a screw dislocation.展开更多
