Abstract

A recent model based on full elastic anisotropy and crystal plasticity predicted the existence of multiple wave configurations during the interaction of stress waves with grain boundaries. Since the multiple wave configuration scenario cannot exist in nature, the principle of minimum entropy production is applied in the current work to find the most probable configuration. A large amplitude transmitted quasi-longitudinal wave is predicted for the given bicrystal orientation studied due to the wave propagating near a [001] direction and thus requiring large stress given the very low Schmid factor in this direction (for nickel aluminide (NiAl) as a model material). Anisotropic elastic–plastic velocity surfaces for quasi-longitudinal and quasi-shear waves in NiAl have also been constructed to gain an understanding of the general nature of plastic waves as a function of crystallographic direction.
