Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Nonequilibrium Grain Boundaries in Ultrafine-Grained Nickel and their Relaxation under Cyclic Loading

Article Preview

Abstract:

Atomistic simulations of the structure, energy and relaxation under the action of high frequency cyclic straining are carried out for columnar nickel nanocrystals with [112] column axis, the grain boundaries (GBs) of which are in a nonequilibrium state caused by the presence of extrinsic grain boundary dislocations (EGBDs). A special method of introducing EGBDs is used to create initial structures with nonequilibrium GBs. Energy of GBs as a function of the degree of nonequilibrium is evaluated and qualitatively compared to the results of dislocation and disclination modeling. It is shown that under loading by symmetrically oscillating stresses the nonequilibrium GBs generate lattice dislocations, which travel across the grains and are absorbed by opposite GBs thus resulting in a relaxation of the structure, long-range stress fields and the energy of GBs.
