Using a partitioned-energy thermodynamic framework which assigns energy to that of atomic configurational stored energy of cold work and kinetic-vibrational, we derive an important constraint on the Taylor-Quinney coefficient, which quantifies the fraction of plastic work that is converted into heat during plastic deformation. Associated with the two energy contributions are two separate temperatures -- the ordinary temperature for the thermal energy and the effective temperature for the configurational energy. We show that the Taylor-Quinney coefficient is a function of the thermodynamically defined effective temperature that measures the atomic configurational disorder in the material. Finite-element analysis of recently published experiments on the aluminum alloy 6016-T4 citep{neto_2020}, using the thermodynamic dislocation theory (TDT), shows good agreement between theory and experiment for both stress-strain behavior and temporal evolution of the temperature. The simulations include both conductive and convective thermal energy loss during the experiments, and significant thermal gradients exist within the simulation results. Computed values of the differential Taylor-Quinney coefficient are also presented and suggest a value which differs between materials and increases with increasing strain.

We present a thermodynamic description of crystal plasticity. Our formulation is based on the Langer-Bouchbinder-Lookman thermodynamic dislocation theory (TDT), which asserts the fundamental importance of an effective temperature that describes the state of configurational disorder and therefore the dislocation density of the crystalline material. We extend the TDT description from isotropic plasticity to crystal plasticity with many slip systems. Finite-element simulations show favourable comparison with experiments on polycrystal fcc copper under uniaxial compression, tension, and simple shear. The thermodynamic theory of crystal plasticity thus provides a thermodynamically consistent and physically rigorous description of dislocation motion in crystals. We also discuss new insights about the interaction of dislocations belonging to different slip systems.
The critical dynamics of dislocation avalanches in plastic flow is examined using a phase field crystal (PFC) model. In the model, dislocations are naturally created, without any textit{ad hoc} creation rules, by applying a shearing force to the perfectly periodic ground state. These dislocations diffuse, interact and annihilate with one another, forming avalanche events. By data collapsing the event energy probability density function for different shearing rates, a connection to interface depinning dynamics is confirmed. The relevant critical exponents agree with mean field theory predictions.
It is well known that diamond does not deform plastically at room temperature and usually fails in catastrophic brittle fracture. Here we demonstrate room-temperature dislocation plasticity in sub-micrometer sized diamond pillars by in-situ mechanical testing in the transmission electron microscope. We document in unprecedented details of spatio-temporal features of the dislocations introduced by the confinement-free compression, including dislocation generation and propagation. Atom-resolved observations with tomographic reconstructions show unequivocally that mixed-type dislocations with Burgers vectors of 1/2<110> are activated in the non-close-packed {001} planes of diamond under uniaxial compression of <111> and <110> directions, respectively, while being activated in the {111} planes under the <100> directional loading, indicating orientation-dependent dislocation plasticity. These results provide new insights into the mechanical behavior of diamond and stimulate reconsideration of the basic deformation mechanism in diamond as well as in other brittle covalent crystals at low temperatures.
Plastic deformation mediated by collective dislocation dynamics is investigated in the two-dimensional phase-field crystal model of sheared single crystals. We find that intermittent fluctuations in the dislocation population number accompany bursts in the plastic strain-rate fluctuations. Dislocation number fluctuations exhibit a power-law spectral density $1/f^2$ at high frequencies $f$. The probability distribution of number fluctuations becomes bimodal at low driving rates corresponding to a scenario where low density of defects alternate at irregular times with high population of defects. We propose a simple stochastic model of dislocation reaction kinetics that is able to capture these statistical properties of the dislocation density fluctuations as a function of shear rate.
The deformation behaviour of the intermetallic Al$_{2}$Cu-phase was investigated using atomistic simulations and micropillar compression, where slip on the unexpected {211} and {022} slip planes was revealed. Additionally, all possible slip systems for the intermetallic phases were further evaluated and a preference for the activation of slip systems based on their effective interplanar distances as well as the effective Burgers vector is proposed. The effective interplanar distance corresponds to the manually determined interplanar distance, whereas the effective Burgers vector takes a potential dislocation dissociation into account. This new order is: {211}1/2<111>, {022}1/2<111> and {022}<100>, {110}<001>, {310}<001>, {022}<011>, {110}1/2<111>, {112}<110> and {112}1/2<111> from high to low ratio of deff/beff. Also, data on the critical resolved shear stresses of several of these slip systems were measured.
