The Role of Grain Boundaries under Long-Time Radiation

Yichao Zhu, Jing Luo, Xu Guo +2

Materials containing a high proportion of grain boundaries offer significant potential for the development of radiation-resistent structural materials. However, a proper understand…

A continuum model for distributions of dislocations incorporating short-range interactions

Xiaohua Niu, Yichao Zhu, Shuyang Dai +1

Dislocations are the main carriers of the permanent deformation of crystals. For simulations of engineering applications, continuum models where material microstructures are repres…

Continuum dynamics of the formation, migration and dissociation of self-locked dislocation structures on parallel slip planes

Yichao Zhu, Xiaohua Niu, Yang Xiang

In continuum models of dislocations, proper formulations of short-range elastic interactions of dislocations are crucial for capturing various types of dislocation patterns formed…

A continuum model for dislocation dynamics in three dimensions using the dislocation density potential functions and its application in understanding the micro-pillar size effect

Yichao Zhu, Yang Xiang

In this paper, we present a dislocation-density-based three-dimensional continuum model, where the dislocation substructures are represented by pairs of dislocation density potenti…

Homogenisation of a Row of Dislocation Dipoles from Discrete Dislocation Dynamics

Stephen Jonathan Chapman, Yang Xiang, Yichao Zhu

Conventional discrete-to-continuum approaches have seen their limitation in describing the collective behaviour of the multi-polar configurations of dislocations, which are widely…
