Abstract:
Results from experiments conducted on copper FCC single crystals are reported. Two symmetric crystallographic orientations and four non-symmetric crystallographic orientations were tested. The slip line fields that form near a pre-existing notch in these specimens were observed. The changes in these patterns as the orientation of the notch in the crystal is rotated in an {101} plane are discussed. Sectors of similar slip line patterns are identified and the type of boundaries between these sectors are discussed. A type of sector boundary called mixed kink is identified. Specimen orientations that differ by 90° are found to have different slip line patterns, contrary to the predictions of perfectly plastic slip line theory. The locations of the first slip lines to form are compared to the predictions obtained using anisotropic linear elastic stress field solutions and the initial plane-strain yield surfaces. It is found that comparison of these surface slip line fields to plane strain crack tip solutions in the annular region between 350 microns and 750 microns is justified. The differences in anisotropic elastic solutions for orientations that are 90° apart explain the lack of agreement with perfectly plastic slip line theory.
