This review summarizes recent advances in the area of tribology based on the outcome of a
Lorentz Center workshop surveying various physical, chemical and mechanical phenomena …

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

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

Discrete dislocation dynamics is a numerical tool developed to model the plasticity of
crystalline materials at an intermediate length scale, between the atomistic modeling and the …

Discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) has been used to model the deformation of nickel-
based single crystal superalloys with a high volume fraction of precipitates at high …

Using atomistic simulations and dislocation theory on a model system of semi-coherent {1 1

A long standing challenge in computational materials science is to establish a quantitative
connection between the macroscopic properties of plastic deformation with the microscopic …

Three-dimensional (3-D) dislocation dynamics simulations were employed to examine the
fundamental mechanisms of plasticity in small-scale face-centered cubic single crystals …

3-D discrete dislocation dynamics simulations were used to investigate the size-dependent
plasticity in polycrystalline, free-standing, thin films. A simple line-tension model was used to …

The plastic zone developed during elastoplastic contact may be effectively modeled as an
inclusion in an isotropic half space. This paper proposes a simple but efficient computational …
