Scaling Confirmation of the Thermodynamic Dislocation Theory
J. S. Langer, K. C. Le
We show that the thermodynamic dislocation theory (TDT) predicts a scaling relation between stresses, strain rates, and temperatures for steady-state deformations of crystalline so…
Thermodynamic analysis of the Livermore molecular-dynamics simulations of dislocation-mediated plasticity
J. S. Langer
Results of recent large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of dislocation-mediated solid plasticity are campared with predictions of the statistical thermodynamic theory of these…
Thermodynamic theory of dislocation-enabled plasticity
J. S. Langer
The thermodynamic theory of dislocation-enabled plasticity is based on two unconventional hypotheses. The first of these is that a system of dislocations, driven by external forces…
Thermodynamic dislocation theory of high-temperature deformation in aluminum and steel
K. C. Le, T. M. Tran, J. S. Langer
The statistical-thermodynamic dislocation theory developed in previous papers is used here in an analysis of high-temperature deformation of aluminum and steel. Using physics-based…
Yielding Transitions and Grain-Size Effects in Dislocation Theory
J. S. Langer
The statistical-thermodynamic dislocation theory developed in previous papers is used here in an analysis of yielding transitions and grain-size effects in polycrystalline solids.…
Thermal Effects in Dislocation Theory II: Shear Banding and Yielding Transitions
J. S. Langer
The thermodynamic dislocation theory presented in preceding papers is used here to describe shear-banding instabilities. Central ingredients of the theory are a thermodynamically d…
