  2. Slip (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_(materials_science)

    In the diagram on the right, the specific plane and direction are (111) and [1 10], respectively. Given the permutations of the slip plane types and direction types, fcc crystals have 12 slip systems. [3] In the fcc lattice, the norm of the Burgers vector, b, can be calculated using the following equation: [4]

  3. Stacking fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking_fault

    Comparison of fcc and hcp lattices, explaining the formation of stacking faults in close-packed crystals. In crystallography, a stacking fault is a planar defect that can occur in crystalline materials. [1] [2] Crystalline materials form repeating patterns of layers of atoms. Errors can occur in the sequence of these layers and are known as ...

  4. Linear density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_density

    Consider a long, thin rod of mass and length .To calculate the average linear mass density, ¯, of this one dimensional object, we can simply divide the total mass, , by the total length, : ¯ = If we describe the rod as having a varying mass (one that varies as a function of position along the length of the rod, ), we can write: = Each infinitesimal unit of mass, , is equal to the product of ...

  5. Cubic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_crystal_system

    [4] [5] The bcc and fcc, with their higher densities, are both quite common in nature. Examples of bcc include iron, chromium, tungsten, and niobium. Examples of fcc include aluminium, copper, gold and silver. Another important cubic crystal structure is the diamond cubic structure, which can appear in carbon, silicon, germanium, and tin.

  6. Cross slip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_Slip

    In face centered cubic (FCC) metals, screw dislocations can cross-slip from one {111} type plane to another. However, in FCC metals, pure screw dislocations dissociate into two mixed partial dislocations on a {111} plane, and the extended screw dislocation can only glide on the plane containing the two partial dislocations. [ 2 ]

  7. Close-packing of equal spheres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-packing_of_equal_spheres

    Comparison between HCP and FCC Figure 1 – The HCP lattice (left) and the FCC lattice (right). The outline of each respective Bravais lattice is shown in red. The letters indicate which layers are the same. There are two "A" layers in the HCP matrix, where all the spheres are in the same position. All three layers in the FCC stack are different.

  8. Critical resolved shear stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_resolved_shear_stress

    The Schmid factor is most applicable to FCC single-crystal metals, [3] but for polycrystal metals the Taylor factor has been shown to be more accurate. [4] The CRSS is the value of resolved shear stress at which yielding of the grain occurs, marking the onset of plastic deformation. CRSS, therefore, is a material property and is not dependent ...

  9. Sphere packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_packing

    The strictly jammed (mechanically stable even as a finite system) regular sphere packing with the lowest known density is a diluted ("tunneled") fcc crystal with a density of only π √ 2 /9 ≈ 0.49365. [6] The loosest known regular jammed packing has a density of approximately 0.0555. [7]
