On the Activation Energy for Super Plastic Flow

J. D. Muņoz-Andrade, UNIVERSIDAD AUTONOMA METROPOLITANA UNIDAD AZCAPOTZALCO, Mexico, Mexico

By applying the quantum mechanics and relativistic mathematical model of Muñoz-Andrade the activation energy for super plastic flow in spatially extended polycrystalline systems is obtained. Over this framework, in the present study the activation energy for super plastic flow in spatially extended polycrystalline systems dependence on strain rate and phase velocity de Broglie are obtained, in addition, the nature determination of the wavelength of the cellular dislocations l^ wave associated with super plastic flow. It is concluded that the super plastic flow associated with cooperative grain boundary sliding and self accommodation process is assisted in nature behavior by cellular dislocation dynamics. Furthermore, the most important results of this work are analyzed in the environment of the cosmic micromechanics connection during super plastic flow in spatially extended polycrystalline systems.

Summary: The quantum mechanics and relativistic mathematical model using in this study allows obtain in a practical technique the activation energy for super plastic flow in spatially extended polycrystalline systems.
