The interaction of equilibrium clusters of straight edge dislocations with a monochromatic sound wave having a non-zero wavevector is investigated taking into account the dislocation mass. We report on a significant increase in drift velocities of clusters when the sound wave frequency approaches a cluster's eigenfrequency. Of practical importance is the increase in the drift velocity observed for clusters with a non-zero topological charge interacting with small frequency sound waves.
The effect of ultrasonic treatment on the microstructure, microhardness and thermal stability of pure nickel after high pressure torsion (HPT) was studied. It was shown that the ultrasonic treatment reduces internal stresses induced by severe plastic deformation. The higher the intensity of ultrasound in the range studied, the stronger is this effect. Also it was revealed that grain growth in nickel processed by HPT followed by ultrasonic treatment occurs at higher temperatures than that in nickel as-processed by HPT, i.e. the thermal stability of nanostructured nickel is increased.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
