Abstract
A shear band is a heterogeneous, narrow seam within a solid material whose formation is caused by intense localized shearing when a sufficiently large amount of deformation occurs. If that deformation occurs at a sufficiently rapid rate, with operative friction, then co-located ephemeral heating will occur in the shear band. In this study, shear bands were produced from dynamic shear-induced compaction of a granular form of crystalline α-quartz (SiO2). The produced shear bands were approximately 25-µm thick and were examined with scanning electron microscopy/electron backscatter diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and nanoindentation. They were found to contain a mixture of vitreous silica and small-sized crystallites. This finding is significant because the presence of the vitreous silica within the shear band is a postmortem indicator that the localized temperature had reached or exceeded the melting temperature (∼1723°C) of crystalline SiO2 during the rapid shear and compaction and then sufficiently rapid cooling quenched in that vitreous state.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Applied Glass Science (IJAGS) endeavors to be an indispensable source of information dealing with the application of glass science and engineering across the entire materials spectrum. Through the solicitation, editing, and publishing of cutting-edge peer-reviewed papers, IJAGS will be a highly respected and enduring chronicle of major advances in applied glass science throughout this century. It will be of critical value to the work of scientists, engineers, educators, students, and organizations involved in the research, manufacture and utilization of the material glass. Guided by an International Advisory Board, IJAGS will focus on topical issue themes that broadly encompass the advanced description, application, modeling, manufacture, and experimental investigation of glass.
