To develop a dislocation-based statistical continuum theory of crystal plasticity is a major challenge of materials science.During the last two decades such a theory has been developed for the time evolution of a system of parallel edge…
Coarse-grained descriptions of dislocation motion in crystalline metals inherently represent a loss of information regarding dislocation-dislocation interactions. In the present work, we consider a coarse-graining framework capable of…

The dynamics of dislocations can be formulated in terms of the evolution of continuous variables representing dislocation densities ('continuum dislocation dynamics'). We show for various variants of this approach that the resulting models…
Plastic deformation of crystals is a physical phenomenon, which has immensely driven the development of human civilisation since the onset of the Chalcolithic period. This process is primarily governed by the motion of line defects, called…

Although continuum theory has been widely used to describe the long-range elastic behavior of dislocations, it is limited in its ability to describe mechanical behaviors that occur near dislocation cores. This limit of the continuum theory…
Materials are often heterogeneous at various length scales, with variations in grain structure, defects, and composition which has a strong influence on the emergent macroscopic plastic behavior. In particular, heterogeneities lead to…

The elastic energy functional of a system of discrete dislocation lines is well known from dislocation theory. In this paper we demonstrate how the discrete functional can be used to systematically derive approximations which express the…
In this paper, we deduce a macroscopic strain gradient theory for plasticity from a model of discrete dislocations. We restrict our analysis to the case of a cylindrical symmetry for the crystal in exam, so that the mathematical formulation…

Plastic deformation is mediated by the creation and movement of dislocations, and at high stress the latter is dominated by dislocation drag from phonon wind. By simulating a 1-D shock impact problem we analyze the importance of accurately…
