A dislocation based analysis of continuum mechanical and microscopic local stresses during cyclic deformation of copper

A relationship between continuum mechanical internal stress variables, kinetic back stress, isotropic drag stress, and microscopic local stresses in the dislocation cell interior and cell walls, is developed based upon Mughrabi’s composite model of deformation of heterogeneous microstructure during cyclic deformation in cell forming metals. The experimental data on the evolution of kinematic back stress and isotropic drag stress during cyclic …
