The phase-field dislocation dynamics (PFDD) method, originated in 2002, is a continuum
dislocation model that uses order parameters to describe dislocation slips in crystalline …

Review of selected fundamental topics on the interaction between phase transformations,
fracture, and other structural changes in inelastic materials is presented. It mostly focuses on …

In this work, we investigate the operation of Frank-Read (FR) sources in a refractory multi-
principal element alloy (MPEA). Simulations of discrete dislocation motion in MPEAs is …

In this work, we calculate the local slip resistances (LSRs) in equal-molar MoNbTi multi-
principal element alloy via molecular static simulations. We consider dislocations of either …

Voids of nanoscale dimensions in irradiated metals can act as obstacles to dislocation
motion and cause strengthening. In this work, nanovoid strengthening and the influences of …

The low-temperature tensile brittleness of body-centered cubic (BCC) metals and alloys can
seriously compromise their service applications. In this study, we prepared a BCC structured …

Confined layer slip (CLS) is considered as the primary mechanism for plastic deformation in
nanolaminates. It depicts the confined motion of a single dislocation between two parallel …

Abstract The Frank-Read (FR) source is a well-known intragranular dislocation source that
plays an important role in size-dependent dislocation multiplication in metallic crystals. In …

In this work, we utilize atomistic simulations to calculate the generalized stacking fault
energies (GSFEs), which are related to the dislocation glide process, on four types of slip …

Metallic nanolaminates exhibit superior strength compared to their coarsely laminated
counterparts. For layer thicknesses in the range of a few to tens of nanometers, the strength …
