Dislocation assemblies exhibit a jamming or yielding transition at a critical external shear stress value $\sigma=\sigma_c$. Nevertheless the nature of this transition has not been ascertained. Here we study the heterogeneous and collective…

Plasticity of metals is the emergent phenomenon of many crystal defects (dislocations) which interact and move on microscopic time and length scales. Two of the commonly used models to describe such dislocation dynamics are the…
