Abstract
A discrete dislocation analysis of the continuous plastic crack is carried out for ordered alloys. The crack is assumed to nucleate and reach a size where it will emit a set of lattice dislocations in order to decrease its energy. Further growth of the crack takes place elastically until it can emit the next set of lattice dislocations. Repeated emission of lattice dislocations, with elastic crack growth in between, leads to the Griffith configuration where the energy variation with size of the crack is zero. It is shown that a crack, either tensile or shear, can be stabilized by the presence of antiphase boundary energy alone. In the absence of frictional stress or with the very low frictional stresses encountered in real materials, the lattice dislocations are generated in pairs on each slip plane. However, when the frictional stress is high, the lattice dislocations are generated as single ones, giving rise to an antiphase boundary between the crack and the lattice dislocation.
