dc.descriptionWe study the growth of slip line in a plastically deforming crystal by numerical simulation of a double-ended pile-up model with a dislocation source at one end, and an absorbing wall at the other end. In presence of defects, the pile-up undergoes a second order non-equilibrium phase transition as a function of stress, which can be characterized by finite size scaling. We obtain a complete set of critical exponents and scaling functions that describe the spatiotemporal dynamics of the slip line. Our findings allow to reinterpret earlier experiments on slip line kinematography as evidence of a dynamic critical phenomenon.
