Abstract

In this paper we focus on one of the key issues in polycrystalline plasticity: the unit mechanisms involving the interactions between dislocations and grain boundaries (GB). Using a combination of large-scale molecular dynamics simulations based on an embedded atom potential and an analysis in terms of the line-tension model we identify and characterize the geometrical parameters that govern the occurrence of slip transmission, absorption, blockage, etc. in dislocation-GB interactions. The results provide a guideline for the development of quantitative micro-constitutive equations for dislocation-GB interactions to be used in meso-scale simulations of polycrystal plasticity.
