Abstract

Direct interactions of externally generated dislocations with a moving, non-emitting crack tip, have been investigated. Dislocations of the appropriate Burgers vector, initially residing in a strip ahead of the incoming crack tip, are funneled toward the tip, with their motion restricted to the slip plane. Once drawn into the vicinity of the tip, these dislocations inevitably cause local, atomic scale blunting of the tip. The resulting crack trapping process is modelled, resulting in the temperature, crack velocity, and dislocation density dependent, tip toughness.
