Abstract

We present two-dimensional molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of symmetric tilt grain boundary kinetics, driven by stored energy of deformation. The latter is introduced by prescribing a well-defined gradient in dislocation density across a flat grain boundary. Bicrystals simulations reveal that the boundary motion, albeit jerky, increases linearly with simulation time. We also employ a control simulation to extract the driving force for motion, which then yields a unique boundary mobility. Preliminary comparisons with curvature driven boundary migration for misorientations 30° and 22.78° suggest that misorientation dependence of boundary migration is significantly less anisotropic, in turn implying that the mechanism of motion itself is different.
