An experimental study of the elastic and plastic properties of sucrose single crystals, which can be considered to be a model material for both pharmaceutical excipients and explosives, has been carried out using nanoindentation. Instrumented indentation was used to characterize the properties of both habit and cleavage planes on the (100) and (001) orientations; the elastic modulus on the (100) is 38 GPa, while the modulus on the (001) is 33 GPa. The hardness of sucrose is approximately 1.5 GPa. Nanoindentation enables assessment of the onset of plastic deformation on cleaved surfaces, and a maximum shear stress of 1 GPa can be supported prior to plastic deformation. The deformation in this material is crystallographically dependent, with pileup around residual indentation impressions showing evidence of preferential slip system activity.

A single crystal stressed in the [3]𝛄 direction at 185°K was transformed to 5% 𝛂 martensite and 2% Ɛ martensite by volume. The austenite slip system of maximum shear stress is the (11)𝛄 [01)𝛄. Fig. 1 shows a two surface study using the electron and optical microscopes. The a martensite is confined between £martensite plates with the (0001)Ɛ ∥ (11)𝛄. The size of the acicular martensite crystals is controlled by the spacing of the £ martensite plates. These £ martensite plates are seen in Fig. 1A as dark vertical bands. The axes of the acicular crystals lie in the (11)𝛄 plane. The £ martensite habit plane is defined as the plane perpendicular to the (11)𝛄 containing the vector defining the crystal axis.

Mechanical properties of (001) Mo and (001) Mo – 1.5 at.% Ir single crystals have been studied by nanoindentation. It has been found that the iridium addition to molybdenum leads to an increase in both hardness and elastic modulus. An abrupt elasto-plastic transition (pop-in) at a depth of about 20 - 40 nm caused by dislocation nucleation in previously dislocation-free volume has been observed in the initial portion of the loading curve. It has shown that the Ir addition essentially affects the dislocation nucleation. Mean shear stress required for the dislocation nucleation increased from 10.8 GPa (G/12) for a Mo single crystal to 18.2 GPa (G/8) for the Mo – 1.5 at% Ir solid solution. Thus, the Ir solution in a Mo single crystal affects not only the resistance to the motion of dislocations (hardness) but the nucleation of them as well. The latter is likely to occur as a result of an increase in the structure perfection of the Mo – 1.5 at% Ir solid solution as compared to the pure Mo single crystal.


The influence of very small quantities of impurity on the critical shear stress of metal single crystals has an important bearing on the mechanism of their plastic deformation. For investigations in this field, mercury is a very suitable metal: its impurity content can easily be reduced to an extremely low level (Hulett 1911) and it contains no dissolved gases (Hulett 1911). Also, as first pointed out by Andrade (1914), single crystal wires of this metal can be prepared without difficulty. The low melting point of mercury (-38∙8° C.) is far from being a disadvantage. The crystals can be maintained at -60° C., and at a temperature so near the melting point the thermal agitation may be expected to accentuate phenomena not observable at lower temperatures, if such agitation plays the important part in the mechanism of glide ascribed to it (Taylor 1934; Polanyi 1934; Orowan 1934). As a possible instance of this, the experiments to be described have revealed the existence of a preliminary “set” preceding the true plastic yield. Widely differing forms of slip band have also been observed, and are described elsewhere (Greenland 1937). It is hoped that these results will throw further light on the mechanism of glide.

The contact stress of cemented carbide with NCD coating in elastic contact was analyzed using ANSYS. Factors such as elastic modulus and thickness of NCD film and elastic modulus of interlayer which affect the shear stress distribution of NCD film on cemented carbide substrate were investigated. The results show that the maximum shear stress point moves towards the interface with the increase of film elastic modulus. Film thickness has a significant effect on shear stress distribution of NCD film. High shear stress develops in the film layer with the increase of film thickness. Interlayer with low elastic modulus will cause shear stress concentration in NCD film.

AbstractThe glide behaviour of superdislocations at a coherent twin boundary in ordered Cu3Au was examined in a transmission electron microscope for the case when the superdislocations are sessile in the boundary. Possible schemes for dissociation of a superdislocation in the boundary were analysed geometrically. The leading superpartial of each superdislocation dissociated into a superpartial in the matrix and a residual Shockley partial in the boundary of glissile type. The trailing superpartial remained undissociated in the boundary. The superpartial in the matrix glided on a cube plane, and a ribbon of APB connected to the boundary was left in its trail. The cube slip occurs as a result of (i) a maximal resolved shear stress for the observed slip system and (ii) the geometric criteria for slip applied to all possible slip systems in the matrix. The Schmid factors for the slip systems in the matrix could be calculated by assuming a uniform tensile axis in the foil. The tensile axis was deduced from the observed slip systems in the twin.

AbstractCompressive deformations of L10-ordered single crystals of FePd have been investigated from room temperature to 873 K. The critical resolved shear stress for superlattice dislocations is hard to determine resulting from buckling that occurs after a small amount of conventional plastic deformation. The CRSS for superlattice dislocations determined from yield stress is significantly larger than that of ordinary dislocations. The CRSS for octahedral glide of ordinary and superlattice dislocations are virtually independent of the temperature, and the positive temperature dependence of the yield stress is not observed for both, ordinary and superlattice dislocations, by the present experiments.


The experiments of Obreimow & Schubnikoff (1927) on the birefringence produced by the plastic deformation of single crystals of rock salt have been extended to a polycrystallirie material. Rolled sheets of silver chloride have been recrystallized and then deformed plastically in various ways—by simple extension and by bending, for example. The sheets are transparent and very ductile and, since silver chloride is cubic in structure, the birefringence patterns observed under the microscope provide a picture of the distribution of the internal stresses uncomplicated by natural double refractions. It is suggested that results obtained with this optical method are applicable to metals. Silver chloride appears to deform by glide, and when the glide packets are observed on edge the glide plane and glide direction to the crystal structure has been studied by making observations upon these bands and upon the glide lines formed on the surfaces of bars of square cross-section consisting effectively of chains of single crystals. The orientations of the fifteen sets of glide bands examined in this way were all consistent with glide movements in a <110> direction; the glide plane, however, was not always a crystallographic plane of low indices. In the six cases in which the measurement was possible, it lay within 9° of the plane in the.<110> zone on which the maximum shear stress, resolved in the <110> direction, acted. It is concluded that silver chloride deforms by ‘pencil glide’, the mechanism postulated by Taylor & Elam in 1926 to explain the plastic behaviour of a-iron. The transmission of pencil glide across grain boundaries is discussed. The residual stresses observed by the optical method in polycrystalline sheets may be divided into three groups: (1) A system of stresses set up between the glide zones of each grain and alternating with a period equal to the spacing of the glide zones. A detailed analysis of these is given in the second paper (part II). (2) Alternating stresses produced when a system of glide zones meets a grain boundary. (3) ‘Heyn stresses’ produced by the nonuniformity of plastic deformation from grain to grain.

ABSTRACTThe finite element method (FEM) was used to study the elastic-plastic contact in the coating systems with interlayer. The results reveal that with the increase of interlayer thickness, the maximum shear stress of coating/interlayer and interlayer/substrate interfaces decreases. Moreover, the sharply changed shear stress between the interfaces of coating/interlayer and interlayer/substrate decreases too. There is no further decrease when interlayer thickness increase to 0.04 mm and above. With the increasing of interlayer elastic modulus, the shear stress of coating/interlayer interface decreases while the shear stress of interlayer/substrate interface increases. Meanwhile, the higher elastic modulus leads to the intensive tensile stress concentration on the interface of coating/interlayer. Hence, the interlayer with appropriate elastic modulus not only reduces the shear stress of coating/interlayer and interlayer/substrate interfaces but also decreases the tensile stress of coating/interlayer interface. The mechanical properties of coating systems were investigated with different interlayer yield strength. The effective hardness and elastic modulus increase with the increase of interlayer yield strength, which is good to protect the substrate from the deformation. In addition, higher indentation load can lead to the decrease of effective hardness and elastic modulus.

Brief qualitative assessments are presented of a few approaches to macroscopic stress-strain relations for structural metals, alloys, and composites and some remarks are made about fracture. Ignoring the scale and applying continuum mechanics to the microstructure lies at one extreme, the dislocation scale treatment of single crystals and simple polycrystals at another. When, as for structural aluminum alloys, the shear stress required for continuing plastic deformation is so much higher than for the constituent single crystals, it seems unlikely that the latter approach is able to exhibit the salient features of macroscopic behavior.
