Abstract

The model of localized adiabatic heating associated with release of a dislocation pile-up avalanche is described and re-evaluated. The model supplies a fundamental explanation of shear banding behavior in metal and non-metal systems. Now, a dislocation dynamics description is provided for more realistic assessment of the hot spot heating, for both straight dislocation pile-ups and circular loop pile-ups. Such a localized heating effect was overestimated in the earlier work, in part, to show the dramatic enhancement of the work rate, and the corresponding temperature build-up, potentially occurring in the initial pile-up release, say, at achievement of the critical dislocation mechanics-based stress intensity for cleavage. Proposed applications are to potentially brittle metal, ionic, and energetic material systems.
