Abstract
A fundamental description of plastic deformation is under development by several research groups as a result of dissatisfaction with the limitations of continuum plasticity theory. The reliability of continuum plasticity descriptions is dependent on the accuracy and range of available experimental data. Under complex loading situations, however, the database is often hard to establish. Moreover, the lack of a characteristic length scale in continuum plasticity makes it difficult to predict the occurrence of critical localized deformation zones. It is widely appreciated that plastic strain is fundamentally heterogenous, displaying high strains concentrated in small material volumes, with virtually undeformed regions in-between. Experimental observations consistently show that plastic deformation is internally heterogeneous at a number of length scales [1–3]. Depending on the deformation mode, heterogeneous dislocation structures appear with definitive wavelengths. It is common to observe persistent slip bands (PSBs), shear bands, dislocation pile ups, dislocation cells and sub grains. However, a satisfactory description of realistic dislocation patterning and strain localization has been rather elusive. Since dislocations are the basic carriers of plasticity, the fundamental physics of plastic deformation must be described in terms of the behavior of dislocation ensembles. Moreover, the deformation of thin films and nanolayered materials is controlled by the motion and interactions of dislocations.
