Modeling the evolution of crystallographic dislocation density in crystal plasticity

Dislocations are the most important material defects in crystal plasticity, and although dislocation mechanics has long been understood as the underlying physical basis for continuum crystal plasticity formulations, explicit consideration of crystallographic dislocation mechanics has been largely absent in working constitutive models. Here, dislocation density state variables evolve from initial conditions according to equations based on fundamental concepts in dislocation mechanics such as the conservation of Burgers vector in multiplication and annihilation processes. The model is implemented to investigate the polyslip behavior of single-crystal aluminum. The results not only capture the mechanical stress/strain response, but also detail the development of underlying dislocation structure responsible for the plastic behavior.
