| The prediction of the thermo-elastic stresses in
the crystal gives you an information on the dislocations (slipping and
density). |
|
|
Dislocations are related to the thermal stresses generated during crystal
growth which, beyond a critical level called the CRSS (Critical Resolved Shear
Stress), give rise to plastic deformation.
|
|
| Thermal stresses are computed from temperature field. Thermal stresses are represented using the von Mises invariant. |
| |
|
| The von Mises equivalent stresses (Pa). |
|
| The ratio of the von Mises invariant to the CRSS
allows us to determine the crystal region where a high probability of dislocation
generation is observed.
