Continuum Representation of Systems of Dislocation Lines: A General Method for Deriving Closed-Form Evolution Equations
Mehran Monavari, Stefan Sandfeld, Michael Zaiser
Plasticity is governed by the evolution of, in general anisotropic, systems of dislocations. We seek to faithfully represent this evolution in terms of density-like variables which…
Microstructural Comparison of the Kinematics of Discrete and Continuum Dislocations Models
Stefan Sandfeld, Giacomo Po
The Continuum Dislocation Dynamics (CDD) theory and the Discrete Dislocation Dynamics (DDD) method are compared based on concise mathematical formulations of the coarse graining of…
Pattern formation in a minimal model of continuum dislocation plasticity
Stefan Sandfeld, Michael Zaiser
The spontaneous emergence of heterogeneous dislocation patterns is a conspicuous feature of plastic deformation and strain hardening of crystalline solids. Despite long-standing ef…
A link between microstructure evolution and macroscopic response in elasto-plasticity: formulation and numerical approximation of the higher-dimensional Continuum Dislocation Dynamics theory
Stefan Sandfeld, Ekkachai Thawinan, Christian Wieners
Micro-plasticity theories and models are suitable to explain and predict mechanical response of devices on length scales where the influence of the carrier of plastic deformation -…
