Abstract

A stochastic model is proposed to study dislocation dynamics in metallic single crystals. A Langevin type thermal fluctuation is taken into account for the model to maintain thermal equilibrium. This approach works as Brownian motion of segmental dislocations. Additionally, a new model for implementing the cross slip mechanism in FCC metals is developed based on results obtained by atomistic simulations. This new model is capable of simulating realistic thermal processes such as thermally activated dislocation motion during easy glide or cross slip during cold working of metals.
