Abstract

The discontinuous yielding of a model material, which contains an edge dislocation moving in the atmosphere of solute atoms, is studied by Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations. The stress-strain curves for a constant strain rate were obtained at different temperatures. The dislocation moves discontinuously, producing three types of serrated yielding behavior at intermediate temperatures for different imposed strain rates. Positive dependence of flow stress on temperature and negative strain rate sensitivity were observed in the regime of discontinuous motion. The present model, though highly simplified and not taking into account the collective behaviors of dislocations in real materials, does exhibit some of the basic features observed in experiments.
