Thermodynamics deformations

Dislocation theory as a portion of the subject of solid-state physics is somewhat beyond the scope of this book, but it is desirable to examine the subject briefly in terms of its implications in surface chemistry. Perhaps the most elementary type of defect is that of an extra or interstitial atom—Frenkel defect [110]—or a missing atom or vacancy—Schottky defect [111]. Such point defects play an important role in the treatment of diffusion and electrical conductivities in solids and the solubility of a salt in the host lattice of another or different valence type [112]. Point defects have a thermodynamic basis for their existence in terms of the energy and entropy of their formation, the situation is similar to the formation of isolated holes and erratic atoms on a surface. Dislocations, on the other hand, may be viewed as an organized concentration of point defects they are lattice defects and play an important role in the mechanism of the plastic deformation of solids. Lattice defects or dislocations are not thermodynamic in the sense of the point defects their formation is intimately connected with the mechanism of nucleation and crystal growth (see Section IX-4), and they constitute an important source of surface imperfection. [Pg.275]

The kinetic nature of the glass transition should be clear from the last chapter, where we first identified this transition by a change in the mechanical properties of a sample in very rapid deformations. In that chapter we concluded that molecular motion could simply not keep up with these high-frequency deformations. The complementarity between time and temperature enters the picture in this way. At lower temperatures the motion of molecules becomes more sluggish and equivalent effects on mechanical properties are produced by cooling as by frequency variations. We shall return to an examination of this time-temperature equivalency in Sec. 4.10. First, however, it will be profitable to consider the possibility of a thermodynamic description of the transition which occurs at Tg. [Pg.244]

The a-rhombohedral form of boron has the simplest crystal stmcture with slightly deformed cubic close packing. At 1200°C a-rhombohedral boron degrades, and at 1500°C converts to P-rhombohedral boron, which is the most thermodynamically stable form. The unit cell has 104 boron atoms, a central B 2 icosahedron, and 12 pentagonal pyramids of boron atom directed outward. Twenty additional boron atoms complete a complex coordination (2). [Pg.184]

The evolution of T, is just an exercise in mesoscale thermodynamics [13]. These expressions, in combination with (7.54), incorporate concepts of heterogeneous deformation into a eonsistent mierostruetural model. Aspects of local material response under extremely rapid heating and cooling rates are still open to question. An important contribution to the micromechanical basis for heterogeneous deformation would certainly be to establish appropriate laws of flow-stress evolution due to rapid thermal cycling that would provide a physical basis for (7.54). [Pg.243]

The JKR theory relates the interfacial-force-induced contact deformation to the thermodynamic work of adhesion between solids, and provides a theoretical... [Pg.75]

Viscoelastic polymers essentially dominate the multi-billion dollar adhesives market, therefore an understanding of their adhesion behavior is very important. Adhesion of these materials involves quite a few chemical and physical phenomena. As with elastic materials, the chemical interactions and affinities in the interface provide the fundamental link for transmission of stress between the contacting bodies. This intrinsic resistance to detachment is usually augmented several folds by dissipation processes available to the viscoelastic media. The dissipation processes can have either a thermodynamic origin such as recoiling of the stretched polymeric chains upon detachment, or a dynamic and rate-sensitive nature as in chain pull-out, chain disentanglement and deformation-related rheological losses in the bulk of materials and in the vicinity of interface. [Pg.122]

If contact with a rough surface is poor, whether as a result of thermodynamic or kinetic factors, voids at the interface are likely to mean that practical adhesion is low. Voids can act as stress concentrators which, especially with a brittle adhesive, lead to low energy dissipation, i/f, and low fracture energy, F. However, it must be recognised that there are circumstances where the stress concentrations resulting from interfacial voids can lead to enhanced plastic deformation of a ductile adhesive and increase fracture energy by an increase in [44]. [Pg.333]

Nevertheless, as response data have accumulated and the nature of the porous deformation problems has crystallized, it has become apparent that the study of such solids has forced overt attention to issues such as lack of thermodynamic equilibrium, heterogeneous deformation, anisotrophic deformation, and inhomogeneous composition—all processes that are present in micromechanical effects in solid density samples but are submerged due to continuum approaches to mechanical deformation models. [Pg.50]

In some metal components it is possible to form oxides and carbides, and in others, especially those with a relatively wide solid solubility range, to partition the impurity between the solid and the liquid metal to provide an equilibrium distribution of impurities around the circuit. Typical examples of how thermodynamic affinities affect corrosion processes are seen in the way oxygen affects the corrosion behaviour of stainless steels in sodium and lithium environments. In sodium systems oxygen has a pronounced effect on corrosion behaviour whereas in liquid lithium it appears to have less of an effect compared with other impurities such as C and Nj. According to Casteels Li can also penetrate the surface of steels, react with interstitials to form low density compounds which then deform the surface by bulging. For further details see non-metal transfer. [Pg.429]

Tethering may be a reversible or an irreversible process. Irreversible grafting is typically accomplished by chemical bonding. The number of grafted chains is controlled by the number of grafting sites and their functionality, and then ultimately by the extent of the chemical reaction. The reaction kinetics may reflect the potential barrier confronting reactive chains which try to penetrate the tethered layer. Reversible grafting is accomplished via the self-assembly of polymeric surfactants and end-functionalized polymers [59]. In this case, the surface density and all other characteristic dimensions of the structure are controlled by thermodynamic equilibrium, albeit with possible kinetic effects. In this instance, the equilibrium condition involves the penalties due to the deformation of tethered chains. [Pg.46]

The possibility of the existence of two forms of titanium dioxide, rutile and anatase, is evident from the identity of their Coulomb energies taking the energy of the repulsive forces and of possible deformation into account, it is seen that the choice between the two structures would depend on the thermodynamic environment during crystallization. In... [Pg.275]

The full significance of these observations could not be appreciated in advance of the formulation of the second law of thermodynamics by Lord Kelvin and Clausius in the early 1850 s. In a paper published in 1857 that was probably the first to treat the thermodynamics of elastic deformation, Kelvin showed that the quantity of heat Q absorbed during the (reversible) elastic deformation of any body is related in the following manner to the change with temperature in the work — TFei required to produce the deformation ... [Pg.435]
