Plastic deformation in microscale differs from the macroscopic plasticity in two respects: (i) the flow stress of small samples depends on their size (ii) the scatter of plasticity increases significantly. In this work we focus on the…

In this work we investigate the theory of dynamics of dislocations in quasicrystals. We consider three models: the elastodynamic model of wave type, the elasto-hydrodynamic model, and the elastodynamic model of wave-telegraph type.…

The continuum dislocation dynamics framework for mesoscale plasticity is intended to capture the dislocation density evolution and the deformation of crystals when subjected to mechanical loading. It does so by solving a set of transport…
