Description

The interaction of dislocation pile-ups with several tilt grain boundaries (GB) is studied in copper by using a hy-brid continuum-atomistic approach. The effects of temperature, pile-up intensity and GB structure on absorptionand transmission of slip as a function oflocalstressstate are explored.Byconsidering several high-angle GBswithdifferent misorientation angles, we demonstrate that GB atomic structure primarily defines its ability to accom-modate incoming pile-up dislocations, thus limiting the direct transmission of pile-ups through the interface.
