Abstract
Experimentally observed Frank's dislocation boundaries in fcc single crystal are analyzed using a multi-scale discrete dislocation plasticity model. It is shown that use of the plausible model boundary conditions smoothes out the 'hump' in the self-stress field of the dislocation boundary rendering its behaviour closer to that of a theoretical infinite dislocation boundary. The relaxed dislocation boundaries show uniform dislocation networks, stabilized by formation of junctions and dipoles. The interaction behaviour of an extrinsic dislocatin with a dislocation boundary is discussed using a new approach, and a potential relationship is explored between the applied stress and dislocation boundaries' stress field.
