Enabling strain hardening simulations with dislocation dynamics

• Numerical algorithms for discrete dislocation dynamics simulations areinvestigated for the purpose of enabling strain hardening simulations of singlecrystals on massively parallel computers. The algorithms investigated includethe O(N) calculation of forces, the equations of motion, time integration,adaptive mesh refinement, the treatment of dislocation core reactions and thedynamic distribution of data and work on parallel computers. A simulationintegrating all these algorithmic elements using the Parallel DislocationSimulator (ParaDiS) code is performed to understand their behaviour in concertand to evaluate the overall numerical performance of dislocation dynamicssimulations and their ability to accumulate percent of plastic strain.
