Discrete Dislocation Dynamics Simulations of Nanoindentation with Pre-stress: Hardness and Statistics of Abrupt Plastic Events (1707.03915v1)

Abstract: The yield surface in crystal plasticity can be approached from various directions during mechanical loading. We consider the competition between nanoindentation and tensile loading towards plastic yielding. For this purpose, we develop a two-dimensional discrete dislocation model that is then utilized to investigate the hardness and pop-in event statistics during nanoindentation of single crystal under tensile pre-stress. Indentation is performed by using cylindrical (circular in 2D) indentation with varying radius and under both displacement and load control. Tensile in-plane stress, varying from zero to yield strength, is assigned to investigate the effect of pre-stress on hardness and pop-in statistics. At small indentation depths, the measured hardness is found to be smaller for larger tensile pre-stress; therefore, we conclude that nanoindentation can be used to detect plasticity. When indentation depth is larger, the effect of pre-stress is barely seen. Moreover, we discuss event statistics and the related effect of pre-stress.
