Postdoc Opening in Computational Materials Science at Rutgers University

The microMechanics of Deformation Research Group (mMOD) in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Rutgers University is seeking a Post-Doctoral Associate to participate in a pair of collaborative projects with a Department of Energy National Laboratory. The projects are focused on using discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) simulations to understand dislocation patterning in deformed metals, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to understanding crack initiation in hydrogen-affected steels.

Inertia of Dislocation Motion and Negative Mechanical Response in Crystals

Dear Colleagues,

Please see attached a recent article published in Scientific Reports on the fundamental nature of dislocation motion in crystals. Leave your comments or whatever you think of it.

Best,

Is it safe to assume that the change in a dislocations' burger's vector size is negligible during loading?

Free Tags: 

As a result of loading, there is grain distortion, which results in lattice distortion. when lattice distortion happens, then lattice parameter changes. The change in lattice parameter, (a), results in a dislocation's burger's vector size change, since it has the lattice parameter size in its formula. Consequently, one can conclude that the size of burger's vector of a dislocation changes as a result of loading! . Still, is it practically safe to assume that the the change in its size is negligible compared to its initial size before loading?

Is there a way to measure the magnitude of a dislocation burger's vector via high precision optical microscopes?

I need to calculate the size or magnitude of the burger's vector of a dislocation in crystalline materials, metals. Obviously and typically, it can be measured via XRD or the electron microscopy methods, TEM and SEM. The question is:

could it also be measured via high precision optical microscopes, as precise as 1nm ?

Competing mechanisms between dislocation and phase transformation in plastic deformation of single crystalline yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia nanopillars

Molecular dynamics (MD) is employed to investigate the plastic deformation mechanisms of single crystalline yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (YSTZ) nanopillars under uniaxial compression. Simulation results show that the nanoscale plastic deformation of YSTZ is strongly dependent on the crystallographic orientation of zirconia nanopillars. For the first time, the experimental explored tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation is reproduced by MD simulations in some particular loading directions.
