Rd. Isaac et Av. Granato, COMPARISON OF A BROWNIAN-MOTION RATE THEORY WITH DISLOCATION DAMPING DATA FOR LEAD, Zeitschrift fur Metallkunde, 87(6), 1996, pp. 434-438
A Brownian motion rate theory of dislocation motion taking account of
viscous and inertial effects is applied to internal friction measureme
nts. Results for superconducting Pb are used to determine the distribu
tion of the breakaway stress of dislocations. The parameters found by
analysis of the internal friction data, including the electronic dampi
ng coefficient, are those needed to account as well for the enhanced p
lasticity as for the anomalous flow stress temperature dependence of d
ilute alloys.
