  2. Stacking-fault energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking-fault_energy

    The two primary methods of deformation in metals are slip and twinning. Slip occurs by dislocation glide of either screw or edge dislocations within a slip plane. Slip is by far the most common mechanism. Twinning is less common but readily occurs under some circumstances. Twinning occurs when there are not enough slip systems to accommodate ...

  3. Plasticity (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasticity_(physics)

    Plasticity in a crystal of pure metal is primarily caused by two modes of deformation in the crystal lattice: slip and twinning. Slip is a shear deformation which moves the atoms through many interatomic distances relative to their initial positions.

  4. Slip (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_(materials_science)

    In materials science, slip is the large displacement of one part of a crystal relative to another part along crystallographic planes and directions. [1] Slip occurs by the passage of dislocations on close/packed planes, which are planes containing the greatest number of atoms per area and in close-packed directions (most

  5. Deformation mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_mechanism

    Sample deformation mechanism map for a hypothetical material. Here there are three main regions: plasticity, power law creep, and diffusional flow. A deformation mechanism map is a way of representing the dominant deformation mechanism in a material loaded under a given set of conditions. The technique is applicable to all crystalline materials ...

  6. Crystal twinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_twinning

    Deformation twinning is a response to shear stress. The crystal structure is displaced along successive planes of the crystal, a process also called glide. The twinning is always reflection twinning and the glide plane is also the mirror plane. Deformation twinning can be observed in a calcite cleavage fragment by applying gentle pressure with ...

    While undergoing deformation, slip motion will take place. Grain boundaries act as an impediment to dislocation motion for the following two reasons: 1. Dislocation must change its direction of motion due to the differing orientation of grains. [4] 2. Discontinuity of slip planes from grain one to grain two. [4]

  8. Crystal plasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_plasticity

    Crystal plasticity assumes that any deformation that is applied to a material is accommodated by the process of slip, where dislocation motion occurs on a slip system. Further, Schmid's law is assumed to be a valid, where a given slip system is said to be active when the resolved shear stress along the slip system exceeds the critical resolved ...

  9. Deformation (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_(physics)

    In physics and continuum mechanics, deformation is the change in the shape or size of an object. It has dimension of length with SI unit of metre (m). It is quantified as the residual displacement of particles in a non-rigid body, from an initial configuration to a final configuration, excluding the body's average translation and rotation (its rigid transformation).
