The bridge between classical continuum plasticity and crystal plasticity is becoming
narrower with continuously improved computational power and with engineers' desire to …

The objective of this paper is to evaluate the relevance of dislocation conservation within the
context of dislocation-based crystal plasticity. In advanced crystal plasticity approaches …

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

The purpose of the current work is the formulation and comparison of two finite element
algorithms for a dislocation density based crystal plasticity model. We study multiscale …

A dislocation density based constitutive model for face-centred cubic crystals is introduced
and implemented into a crystal plasticity finite element framework. The approach assumes a …

In the past decade, several higher-order crystal plasticity models have been developed to
properly capture size effects, dislocation pile-up and patterning. Here we consider a …

The Special Issue on 'Crystal Plasticity in Forming Technologies' is a collection of 11 original
articles dedicated to theoretical and experimental research that provides new insights and …

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

In the last decades, the numerical prediction of the deformation behavior of materials has
become more and more important. On the one hand, there is an ever growing demand for …

In small-scale mechanical tests, such as micropillar compression tests, plastic deformation is
often localized in narrow slip traces. These slip traces result from a few dislocation sources …
