A discrete dislocation plasticity analysis of plane-strain indentation of a single-crystal half-space by a smooth or rough (fractal) rigid asperity is presented. The emission, movement, and annihilation of edge dislocations are incorporated in the analysis through a set of constitutive rules [1,2]. It is shown that the initiation of the first dislocation is controlled by the subsurface Hertzian stress field and occurs in the ±45° direction with respect to the normal of the crystal surface, in agreement with the macroscopic yielding behavior of the indented halfspace. For fixed slip-plane direction, the dislocation density increases with the applied normal load and dislocation source density. The dislocation multiplication behavior at a given load is compared with that generated by a rough indenter with a fractal surface profile. The results of the analysis provide insight into yielding and plastic deformation phenomena in indented single-crystal materials.

The Matrix

The shear deformation of a composite comprising elastic particles in a single crystal elastic–plastic matrix is analyzed using a discrete dislocation plasticity (DDP) framework wherein dislocation motion occurs via climb-assisted glide. The topology of the reinforcement is such that dislocations cannot continuously transverse the matrix by glide-only without encountering the particles that are impenetrable to dislocations. When dislocation motion is via glide-only, the shear stress versus strain response is strongly strain hardening with the hardening rate increasing with decreasing particle size for a fixed volume fraction of particles. This is due to the formation of dislocation pile-ups at the particle/matrix interfaces. The back stresses associated with these pile-ups result in a size effect and a strong Bauschinger effect. By contrast, when dislocation climb is permitted, the dislocation pile-ups break up by forming lower energy dislocation wall structures at the particle/matrix interfaces. This results in a significantly reduced size effect and reduced strain hardening. In fact, with increasing climb mobility an “inverse size” effect is also predicted where the strength decreases with decreasing particle size. Mass transport along the matrix/particle interface by dislocation climb causes this change in the response and also results in a reduction in the lattice rotations and density of geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) compared to the case where dislocation motion is by glide-only.
