Abstract

We numerically examine dynamical irreversible to reversible transitions and random organization for periodically driven gliding dislocation assemblies using the stroboscopic protocol developed to identify random organization in periodically driven dilute colloidal suspensions. We find that the gliding dislocations exhibit features associated with random organization and evolve into a dynamically reversible state after a transient time extending over a number of cycles. At a critical shearing amplitude, the transient time diverges. When the dislocations enter the reversible state they organize into patterns with fragmented domain wall type features.
