Abstract:The complete system of phase field equations for coupled martensitic phase transformations (PTs), dislocation evolution, and mechanics at large strains is presented. Finite element method (FEM) is utilized to solve this system for two important problems. The first one is related to the simulation of shear strain-induced PT at the evolving dislocation pile-ups in a nanosized bicrystal. Plasticity plays a dual part in the interaction with PT. Dislocation pile-ups produce strong stress tensor concentrators that l… Show more
“…In fact, the uniaxial compression reduces the PT pressure in comparison with hydrostatic conditions without shear, see, e.g., [91,94,96,99]. Alternative boundary conditions-free lateral surfaces-, have been applied for an exploratory study of the shearinduced PT at zero pressure in [8]. Still, results obtained in [64], again due to their generic character, were applied in [103] for the interpretation of experiments on high pressure torsion, in [112] on PTs in nanomaterials under mechanical loading, and in [111] on shock-induced amorphization in Si.…”

“…Dislocational plasticity significantly changes PT thermodynamics, nucleation and growth kinetics, microstructure, and even type of PT. For example, from one side dislocations relax elastic stresses that appear due to heterogeneous distribution of the transformation strain, which promotes PT [2,4,6,8]. From the other side, dislocations produce an athermal threshold for interface propagation and can arrest growth of martensite and lead to morphological transition from plate to lath martensite [1,2,9].…”

“…An additional interaction between dislocations and PT occurs through stress fields generated by their eigen strains and is determined by a solution of coupled PFA and mechanical problems. This theory was applied in [8,59,63,64] to solutions of some material problems, including revealing an athermal hysteresis which depends on the ratio of the phase interface width and the magnitude of the Burgers vector of a dislocation, finding a mechanism of semicoherent interface motion, dislocation inheritance by propagating phase interface, and the temperature-induced nucleation, growth, and arrest of M plate in an A bicrystal. Some earlier PFAs on interaction of PTs and discrete dislocations include analytical [65] and numerical [66,67] solutions for M nucleation on dislocations, which were introduced through their stationary stress fields, or which belong to the moving phase interface only [68] and consequently do not involve phase field equations for dislocations and their inheritance during PT.…”
Pressure and shear strain-induced phase transformations (PTs) in a nanograined bicrystal at the evolving dislocations pile-up have been studied utilizing phase field approach (PFA).The complete system of PFA equations for coupled martensitic PT, dislocation evolution, and mechanics at large strains is presented and solved using finite element method (FEM). The nucleation pressure for high pressure phase (HPP) under hydrostatic condition near single dislocation was determined to be 15.9 GPa. Under shear, a dislocations pile-up that appears in the left grain creates strong stress concentration near its tip and significantly increases the local thermodynamic driving force for PT, which causes nucleation of HPP even at zero pressure. At pressures of 1.59 and 5 GPa and shear, a major part of a grain transforms to HPP.When dislocations are considered in the transforming grain as well, they relax stresses and lead to a slightly smaller stationary HPP region than without dislocations. However, they strongly suppress nucleation of HPP and require larger shear. Unexpectedly, the stationary HPP morphology is governed by the simplest thermodynamic equilibrium conditions, which do not contain contributions from plasticity and surface energy. These equilibrium conditions are fulfilled either for the majority of points of phase interfaces or (approximately) in terms of stresses averaged over the HPP region or for the entire grain, despite the strong heterogeneity of stress fields. The major part of the driving force for PT in the stationary state is due to deviatoric stresses rather than pressure. While the least number of dislocations in a pile-up to nucleate HPP linearly decreases with increasing the applied pressure, the least corresponding shear strain depends on pressure nonmonotonously. Surprisingly, the ratio of kinetic coefficients for PT and dislocations affect stationary solution and nanostructure. Consequently, there are multiple stationary solutions under the same applied load and PT and deformation processes are path dependent. With an increase in the size of the sample by a factor of two, 2 no effect was found on the average pressure and shear stress and HPP nanostructure, despite the different number of dislocations in a pile-up. Obtained results represent a nanoscale basis for understanding and description of PTs under compression and shear in rotational diamond anvil cell and high pressure torsion.
