Abstract
The problem of the interaction of dislocations with grain boundaries is discussed on the basis of the concept of grain boundary non-equilibrium state generation and recovery. According to this concept, trapped lattice dislocations, being non-equilibrium defects, are absorbed by the boundaries as they dissociate into grain boundary dislocations which are then rearranged into equilibrium configurations. During the absorption of lattice dislocations, grain boundaries are shown to be in an non-stationary, excited state, which causes an abrupt acceleration of some of the grain boundary dynamic process such as diffusion, migration, and sliding.
