Dislocation cores, the regions in the immediate vicinity of dislocation lines, control a number
of properties such as dislocation mobility, cross-slip and short-range interactions with other …

Dislocations play a vital role in the mechanical behavior of crystalline materials during
deformation. To capture dislocation phenomena across all relevant scales, a multiscale …

Structural alloys are often strengthened through the addition of solute atoms. However,
given that solute atoms interact weakly with the elastic fields of screw dislocations, it has …

One of the most potent examples of interstitial solute strengthening in metal alloys is the
extreme sensitivity of titanium to small amounts of oxygen. Unfortunately, these small …

This book presents a broad collection of models and computational methods-from atomistic
to continuum-applied to crystal dislocations. Its purpose is to help students and researchers …

Numerical algorithms for discrete dislocation dynamics simulations are investigated for the
purpose of enabling strain hardening simulations of single crystals on massively parallel …

We develop a non-singular, self-consistent framework for computing the stress field and the
total elastic energy of a general dislocation microstructure. The expressions are self …

In the past twenty years, new experimental approaches, improved models and progress in
simulation techniques have brought new insights into longstanding issues concerning …

Plasticity of irradiated UO 2 is of major interest to improve the risk assessment of the nuclear
fuel cladding failure in the case of design basis accidents. In this study, we investigate the …

Emphasising essential methods and universal principles, this textbook provides everything
students need to understand the basics of simulating materials behaviour. All the key topics …
