The mobility of dislocations is an important factor in understanding material strength. Dislocations experience a drag due to their interaction with the crystal structure, the dominating contribution at high stress and temperature being the…
Here we present a model to study the micro-plastic regime of a stress-strain curve. In this model an explicit dislocation population represents the mobile dislocation content and an internal shear-stress field represents a mean-field…

Liquid crystals are materials that experience an intermediate phase where the material can flow like a liquid, but the molecules maintain an orientation order. The Frank-Oseen model is a continuum model of a liquid crystal. The model…
We consider a dislocation-based rate-independent model of single crystal gradient plasticity with isotropic or linear kinematic hardening. The model is weakly formulated through the so-called primal form of the flow rule as a variational…

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…
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…

Dislocation motion in body centered cubic (bcc) metals displays a number of specific features that result in a strong temperature dependence of the flow stress, and in shear deformation asymmetries relative to the loading direction as well…
We propose a discrete lattice model of the energy of dislocations in three-dimensional crystals which properly accounts for lattice symmetry and geometry, arbitrary harmonic interatomic interactions, elastic deformations and discrete…
Avalanche-like plastic bursts in crystalline materials follow power law statistics, but the scaling exponents and cutoff parameters vary widely in the literature ($\alpha$ ranging from 1 to 2.2), hindering predictive modeling. Since…
