Abstract

Many types of defects contribute to local and long-range stresses and strains in materials. These include vacancies, voids, prismatic loops, interstitials, inclusions, and dislocations. In most cases, dislocations play the dominant role in minimizing long-range stresses in a material by concentrating large amounts of strain within the dislocation core. This cancellation of long-range stresses results in a large decrease in the energy of the system, and thus is a strong driving force for dislocation motion. The degree to which dislocations can cancel out stresses thus depends upon their mobility, and the process of stress cancellation can be considered as a competition between energetics and kinetics. Nowhere is this competition more evident than during the plastic deformation of metals.
