Abstract

A new model for the discretisation of dislocation lines is presented, which is optimised for mesoscale simulations of dislocation dynamics. By comparison with the existing edge-screw model, the present one provides a better description of the stress field close to the dislocation lines. It simplifies the modelling of dislocation reactions and accelerates computations by allowing to make use of larger time steps. An application to attractive junctions and forest hardening is briefly sketched.
