An implementation of the crystal plasticity theory in the context of the multiphase-field
method provides a numerically efficient tracking of evolving grain boundaries, modeled as …

Modeling dislocation multiplication due to interaction and reactions on a mesoscopic scale
is an important task for the physically meaningful description of stage II hardening in face …

Dislocation multiplication in plasticity research is often connected to the picture of a Frank-

We consider a mesoscale continuum model for the evolution of dislocation density in small-
strain crystal plasticity. The model is based on the continuum dislocation dynamics theory …

Plastic deformation of metals involves the complex evolution of dislocations forming strongly
connected dislocation networks. These dislocation networks are based on dislocation …

Mesoscale simulations of discrete defects in metals provide an ideal framework to
investigate the micro-scale mechanisms governing the plastic deformation under high …

The microstructural origin of strain hardening during plastic deformation in stage II
deformation of face-centered cubic (fcc) metals can be attributed to the increase in …
