Partial Dislocation
In materials science, a partial dislocation is a decomposed form of dislocation that occurs within a crystalline material. An ''extended dislocation'' is a dislocation that has dissociated into a pair of partial dislocations. The vector sum of the Burgers vectors of the partial dislocations is the Burgers vector of the extended dislocation. Reaction favorability A dislocation will decompose into partial dislocations if the energy state of the sum of the partials is less than the energy state of the original dislocation. This is summarized by ''Frank's Energy Criterion'': : \begin , \boldsymbol, ^2>&, \boldsymbol, ^2+, \boldsymbol, ^2 \text\\ , \boldsymbol, ^2& , \frac \sqrt, ^2+, \frac \sqrt, ^2\\ \frac >& \frac+\frac \end The components of the ''Shockley Partials'' must add up to the original vector that is being decomposed: : \begin \frac (1) =& \frac(2)+\frac(1)\\ \frac (0) =& \frac(-1)+\frac(1)\\ \frac (-1) =& \frac(-1)+\frac(-2) \end Frank partial dislocations ''Frank p ...

Materials Science
Materials science is an interdisciplinary field of researching and discovering materials. Materials engineering is an engineering field of finding uses for materials in other fields and industries. The intellectual origins of materials science stem from the Age of Enlightenment, when researchers began to use analytical thinking from chemistry, physics, and engineering to understand ancient, phenomenological observations in metallurgy and mineralogy. Materials science still incorporates elements of physics, chemistry, and engineering. As such, the field was long considered by academic institutions as a sub-field of these related fields. Beginning in the 1940s, materials science began to be more widely recognized as a specific and distinct field of science and engineering, and major technical universities around the world created dedicated schools for its study. Materials scientists emphasize understanding how the history of a material (''processing'') influences its struc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
