The plastic deformation of metals is the result of the motion and interaction of dislocations,
line defects of the crystalline structure. Continuum models of plasticity, however, remain …

We present a physics-based constitutive model of dislocation glide in metals that explicitly
accounts for the redistribution of dislocations due to their motion. The model parameterizes …

This work aims at the formulation of a gradient crystal plasticity model which incorporates
some of the latest developments in continuum dislocation theory and is, at the same time …

Miniaturization of components and devices calls for an increased effort on physically
motivated continuum theories, which can predict size-dependent plasticity by accounting for …

The development of a dislocation-based continuum theory of plasticity remains one of the
central challenges of applied physics and materials science. Develo** a continuum theory …

We propose a visco-plastic strain gradient plasticity theory for single crystals. The gradient
enhancement is based on an equivalent plastic strain measure. Two physically equivalent …

Crystal plasticity is governed by the motion of lattice dislocations. Although continuum
theories of static dislocation assemblies date back to the 1950s, the line-like character of …

Because of the enormous range of time and space scales involved in dislocation dynamics,
plastic modeling at macroscale requires a continuous formulation. In this paper, we present …

Continuum dislocation dynamics (CDD) aims at representing the evolution of systems of
curved and connected dislocation lines in terms of density-like field variables. Here we …

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