Abstract

We present a general formalism for incorporating dislocations in Phas Field methods. This formalism is based on the elastic equiva;ence betweem a dislocation loop and a platelet inclusion of specific stress-free strain related to the loop Burgers vector and normal. Dislocations are thus treated as platelet inclusions and may be coupled dynamically to any other field such as a concentration field. The method is illustrated through the simulation of a Frank-Read source and of the shrinkage of a loop in presence of a concentration field.
