Abstract

Materials used in many technical applications contain a broad variety of defects. In both metals and ceramics, pores and inclusions influence significantly the elastic and plastic response. They can limit or broaden the range of applicability of the materials for high performance components and play, therefore, a very significant role in engineering applications.

This study focuses on the onset of dislocation formation and its intensity at pores and hard inclusions during the deformation process. For this purpose a molecular dynamics model of an fcc metal containing pores and/or inclusions was developed. This model material was then sheared at different strains and related development of the dislocation substructures investigated.
