The latest state of simulation techniques to model plasticity and fracture in crystalline materials on the nano- and microscale is presented. Discrete dislocati
Metals are of great importance for structural applications due to their high yield strength and fracture toughness. In recent years, efforts have been undertake
A profusion of research and results on the mechanical behaviour of crystalline solids has followed the discovery of dislocations in the early thirties. This tre
The objective of this research is to investigate the plastic deformation and its controlling mechanisms in order to model and predict the material microstructur
Written by the leading experts in computational materials science, this handy reference concisely reviews the most important aspects of plasticity modeling: con
