Calculation of Theoretical Shear Stress
for a Perfect Lattice

G. Dieter, Mechanical Metallurgy, 3rd Edition, McGraw-Hill, 1986.


Dislocation Concept
Concept of dislocation was first introduced to explain the discrepancy
between observed and theoretical shear strengths

For the dislocation concept to be valid:


1. The motion of a dislocation through a lattice must require less stress than
the theoretical shear stress
2. The movement of dislocations must produce steps or slip bands at free
surfaces
Cottrell Energy Argument
Plastic deformation is transition from
unslipped to slipped state
The process is opposed by an energy
barrier
To minimize energy the slipped material
will grow by advance of an interfacial
region (dislocation)
To minimize energy of transition
interface thickness, w, small
Distance w is width of dislocation
Smaller w lower interfacial energy
Larger w lower elastic energy of the
crystal atomic spacing in the slip
direction is closer to atomic spacing
Equilibrium width is a balance of these
G. Dieter, Mechanical Metallurgy, 3rd Edition, McGraw-Hill, 1986. two components
Peierls-Nabarro Force
Dislocation width determines the force required to move a dislocation
through a crystal lattice
Peierls stress is the shear stress required to move a dislocation through a
crystal lattice
2G 2w 2G 2a
p exp exp
1 b 1 1 b
a is distance between slip planes
b is the distance between atoms in the slip direction

Note: wide dislocations require lower stress to move


Makes sense: Wide the highly distorted region at core is not localized on any
particular atom
In ductile metals the dislocation width is on the order of 10 atomic spacings

In ceramics with directional covalent bonds high interfacial energy, dislocations are
narrow relatively immobile
Combined with restrictions on slip systems imposed by electrostatic forces low

Dislocation Motion
Dislocations & plastic deformation
Cubic & hexagonal metals - plastic deformation by plastic shear
or slip where one plane of atoms slides over adjacent plane by
defect motion (dislocations).

Dislocation Motion
Dislocation moves along slip plane in slip direction perpendicular to
dislocation line
Slip direction same direction as Burgers vector

Definition of a Slip System
Slip plane - plane allowing easiest slippage:
Minimize atomic distortion (energy) associated with dislocation
motion
Wide interplanar spacings - highest planar atomic densities (Close
Packed)

Slip direction - direction of movement


Highest linear atomic densities on slip plane
Independent Slip Systems
The number of independent slip systems is the total possible number
of combinations of slip planes and directions
Example: FCC
Slip occurs on {111} planes (close-packed) in <110> directions (close-
packed)

4 Unique {111} planes


On each plane 3 independent 110
Total of 12 slip systems in FCC
Slip Systems

Some slip systems in BCC are only activated at high temperatures


BCC and FCC have many possible slip systems ductile materials
HCP: Less possible slip systems brittle material
Stress and Dislocation Motion
Crystals slip due to a resolved shear stress, R.
Applied tension can produce such a stress.

Ex: Deformation of single crystal
a) Will the single crystal yield?
b) If not, what stress is needed?
f=60
crss = 3000 psi
l=35
s cos l cos f
s 6500 psi

Adapted from
Fig. 7.7,
(6500 psi) (cos 35 )(cos 60 )
(6500 psi) (0.41)
Callister 7e.

2662 psi crss 3000 psi
s = 6500 psi
So the applied stress of 6500 psi will not cause the
crystal to yield.

Ex: Deformation of single crystal
What stress is necessary (i.e., what is the yield stress, sy)?

crss 3000 psi sy cos l cos f sy (0.41)

crss 3000 psi


sy 7325 psi
cos l cos f 0.41

So for deformation to occur the applied stress must


be greater than or equal to the yield stress

s sy 7325 psi
