Avalanche statistics and the intermittent-to-smooth transition in microplasticity

G Sparks, Y Cui, G Po, Q Rizzardi, J Marian… - Physical Review …, 2019 - APS
Plastic flow at small scales is generally observed to be intermittent, whereas the stress-strain
behavior of bulk crystals is mostly smooth. Here we find that when the external deformation …

single crystals. In this paper, a stochastic crystal plasticity model is established by importing …

Spatiotemporal slip dynamics during deformation of gold micro-crystals

G Sparks, PS Phani, U Hangen, R Maass - Acta materialia, 2017 - Elsevier
Intermittent plastic deformation in micro-crystals was resolved in both space and time,
yielding velocity profiles that peak in a range from approximately 1 μm/s to 100 μm/s. The …

Second-order work and strain burst in single-crystalline micropillar plasticity

X Zhang, X Zhang, F Shang, Q Li - International Journal of Plasticity, 2016 - Elsevier
Plastic deformation of small-scale crystals proceeds through a sequence of intermittent
plastic instabilities characteristic of strain bursts. In this work we construct the relation …

Small-scale and intermittent plasticity based on dislocation cell continuum crystal plasticity model

H Guo, X Deng, F Shang - Acta Mechanica, 2025 - Springer
The recent experimental and theoretical studies indicate that the heterogeneous dislocation
cell structure in metal sample at micron scale plays a significance role in characterizing the …

Large strain burst induced by martensitic transformation in austenitic micropillars

OG Nimaga, GJ Cheng, HW Yen, MX Huang - Scripta Materialia, 2017 - Elsevier
The present work investigates, for the first time, the effects of martensitic transformation as
well as orientation on the stress-strain behaviour of austenitic micropillars. It is found that …

[HTML][HTML] The strain hardening of micro-sized face-centered-cubic single crystal metals: A crystal plasticity study

H Guo, C Li, X Zhang, F Shang - AIP Advances, 2018 - pubs.aip.org
Recent experimental and theoretical studies indicate the “external geometry” and “internal

Strain Avalanches in Microsized Single Crystals: Avalanche Size Predicted by a Continuum Crystal Plasticity Model

X Zhang, XC Zhang, Q Li, FL Shang - Chinese Physics Letters, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Plastic deformation of small crystals occurs by power-law distributed strain avalanches
whose universality is still debated. In this work we introduce a continuum crystal plasticity …
