Consider a single crystal of some hypothetical metal that has the BCC crystal structure and is oriented such that a tensile stress is applied along a [121] direction. If slip occurs on a (101) plane and in a [1¯11] direction, compute the stress at which the crystal yields if its critical resolved shear stress is 2.8 MPa.

Answer:

Stress is 7.716 MPa

Solution:

As per the question:

Magnitude of the resolved shear stress, [tex]\sigma_{R} = 2.8\ MPa[/tex]

No. of atoms in Body Centered Cubic Crystal, n = 2

Now,

Shear stress is given by:

[tex]\sigma = \frac{\sigma_{R}}{cos\theta cos\lambda}[/tex]

where

[tex]\theta [/tex] = angle between slip plane and the tensile axis

[tex]\lambda [/tex] = angle between tensile axis and the slip direction, i.e., [1 2 1] and [tex][\bar{1}\ 1\ 1][/tex]

Direction of applied force: [1 2 1]

Plane: [1 0 1]

Direction: [tex][\bar{1}\ 1\ 1][/tex]

Also, we know that:

[tex]cos\lambda = \frac{(1\times - 1) + (2\times 1) + (1\times 1)}{\sqrt{1^{2} + 2^{2} + 1^{2}}\times \sqrt{(- 1)^{2} + 1^{2} + 1^{2}}} = \frac{2}{3\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

Now,

[tex]cos\theta = \frac{(1\times 1) + (2\times 0) + (1\times 1)}{\sqrt{1^{2} + 2^{2} + 1^{2}}\times \sqrt{(1)^{2} + 0^{2} + 1^{2}}} = \frac{2}{2\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

Now,

Stress, [tex]\sigma = \frac{2.8}{\frac{2}{2\sqrt{3}}\times \frac{2}{3\sqrt{2}}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 7.716\ MPa[/tex]
