Continuum Dislocation Dynamics

Continuum Dislocation Dynamics

Dislocations are defects in the atomic lattice of materials such as metals. They play a major role in inelastic deformation. Using the methods of continuum mechanics, their collective behavior can be described on the meso- and macroscopic length scale.

Phenomenological modeling

Phenomenological modeling

Phenomenological models are simplified physical models, which represent the essential physics only. Visco-elasticity, visco-plasticity, damage, diffusion, heat transfer can be efficiently described on the macroscopic length scale.
