Abstract

This paper embraces several aspects related to dislocation self-organization in single slip. The formation of prismatic loops, seminal to the nucleation and growth of dislocation braids, is a dynamical process involving elastic dipolar interactions. Preliminary simulations of the concerted process of loop generation are presented. Elastic properties of dislocation dipoles are analysed as a function of dipole character. Equilibrium properties are investigated under the isotropic and anisotropic elastic approximations. The orientation dependence of the so-called dipole passing stress is examined, and its implication in the elementary mechanisms that take place under constrained deformation conditions, such as fatigue cycling, are discussed.
