Abstract
Abstract A theoretical model is suggested which describes generation and growth of nanoscale cracks (nanocracks) near tips of blunt cracks in nanocrystalline solids. Within the model, stress concentration near pre-existent/growing blunt cracks induces grain boundary sliding which leads to formation of dislocations at triple junctions of grain boundaries. The superposition of the external stress concentrated near tips of blunt cracks and stresses created by these dislocations is capable of initiating generation and growth of nanocracks. The characteristics of the nanocrack generation and growth in nanocrystalline Al and α-Fe are calculated, and the effects of these processes on toughness/ductility of nanocrystalline solids are discussed.
