A single crystal plasticity theory for insertion into finite element simulation is formulated using
sequential laminates to model subgrain dislocation structures. It is known that local models …

The physical basis of computationally tractable models of crystalline plasticity is reviewed. A
statistical mechanical model of dislocation motion through forest dislocations is formulated …

A new approach to the modeling of work hardening during plastic deformation of fcc-metals
and alloys has been recently proposed by the present authors. The model is based on a …

The mechanisms for the nucleation, thickening, and growth of crystallographic slip bands
from the sub-nanoscale to the microscale are studied using three-dimensional dislocation …

Dislocations are the most important material defects in crystal plasticity, and although
dislocation mechanics has long been understood as the underlying physical basis for …

The strengthening of metals by a variety of means has been of interest over much of history.
However, the elucidation of the actual mechanisms involved in the processes of alloying and …

The nudged elastic band method has been used to calculate the activation energies for the
nucleation of the leading partial dislocation from grain boundaries in pure fcc copper under …

A work hardening theory has been developed based on a microstructural concept
comprising three elements; the cell/subgrain size, δ, the dislocation density inside the cells …

Structural changestaking place under warmdeformation of pure copperwere studied in
compression at temperatures ranging from 473 to 673K (0.35 to 0.50 T~) under strain rates …

Dislocation-density based evolution formulations that are related to a heterogeneous
microstructure and is representative of different crystalline interactions, have been …
