PREVIOUS Work
3D Simulation of Dislocation System
Long range elastic interaction: Describe by the Peach Kohler equation
Short range interaction: Modelled Phenomenologically as Rate Process (Fitting
the rate process parameter to Experimental Obeservation Data)
System Cofiguration: Geometry of all dislocation line and their Burger Vector.
Dynamic of the System: Evolution of Dislocation line
Alternate Method:
Phase Field Microelasticity (PFM) Method

oij = bi ni /d
oij is the Strain Tensor, bi is the Burger
vector, ni is the Unit vector normal to the
slip Plane and d is the thickness of the
plate.

Dislocation Loops.

Figure 1: Thin Plate like Coherent Inclusion imitating the Dislocation loops.
It is shown that: If the Habit Plane of the Platelet in an Elastically Anisotropic Body is
normal to n then (Condition A)
Total Strain Energy proportional to Inclusion Perimeter Lenght.
Coincide with the Strain Energy of Dislocation with b (as Burger Vector)
Contour coincide with the Inclusion Perimeter.
Thickness of Inclusion: Play a role of radius of Dislocation Core.
Condition A, Makes it Strain Energy Minimizer.
Reason: Vanishing of Strain Energy Term Proportional to Inclusion Volume.
Therefore, Reduction of Strain Energy results Spontaneous transformation of all
Inclusion into Platelets which correspond to Dislocation Loops.

Formulation of PFM
Formulate Dislocation Theory in terms of Phase Transformation:
Consider Displacive Transformation: characterized by Orientation Variants with
stress free strains that are Invariant Plane Strain
oij (,m) = bi (,m)i n ()j /d
= Number all slip planesc
This Kind of Phase Transformation automatically produce Inclusion that transforms
thin Plates to Minimize Strain Energy.
Habit Plane coincide with the Slip plane.
These Plate corresponds to Dislocation loops.
Mutual location and Evolution are driven by the Strain Energy Mimizer.
Consider Martensitic Transformation (MT) in FCC System:
Slip mode {111} <110> : 4 Planes (111) and 3 direction [110] in each Plane.
12 possible Orientation Variants: Each describe by Stress free Strain Tensor

Elastic Energy
Associated with Elastic Strain or Elastic Dislpacement of the crystal lattice caused
by Dislocation.
Elastic Strain = Total Strain Inelastic Strain
Elastic Strain relaxed instantaneously by minimizing the elastic energy under an
inelastic strain through Green Function Solution.

Gradient Energy:
Free Energy of Heterogenous system: Not only dependent on Local values of
Order parameter but on their Spatial Variations. (Gradient Thermodynamics)
Structural non-uniformity exist within the core regions of a Dislocation.
Therefore Egrad formulates in such a way that it vanish outside the core.
Component of Tensor (1 , 2)ijkl are positively defined constant related to the Slip
planes 1 and 2 .
Important Points:
In general: Egrad Area of the Slip plane swept by the Dislocation
In PF Theory; Egrad Area of the Dislocation loop.
For Perfect Dislocation; Surface Energy contribution equal to zero
Exist for Partial Dislocation (Not considered Here)
Egrad Lenght of the Dislocation line (Remaining Part).
