Discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) constitutes a computational paradigm for modelling plastic deformation in crystalline solids by explicitly tracking the motion, interaction and collective behaviour ...
Dislocation dynamics underpin the mechanical and functional behaviour of advanced ceramics by governing how these typically brittle materials accommodate deformation. As line defects within the ...
An international team of researchers, led by University of Toronto Engineering Professor Yu Zou, is using electric fields to control the motion of material defects. This work has important ...
