Elasto-plasticity driven by dislocation movement

Filip Rindler
(University of Warwick)
Abstract

This talk presents some recent progress for models coupling large-strain, geometrically nonlinear elasto-plasticity with the movement of dislocations. In particular, a new geometric language is introduced that yields a natural mathematical framework for dislocation evolutions. In this approach, the fundamental notion is that of 2-dimensional "slip trajectories" in space-time (realized as integral 2-currents), and the dislocations at a given time are recovered via slicing. This modelling approach allows one to prove the existence of solutions to an evolutionary system describing a crystal undergoing large-strain elasto-plastic deformations, where the plastic part of the deformation is driven directly by the movement of dislocations. This is joint work with T. Hudson (Warwick).

After a hiatus we are restarting the Oxford Research Software Development Network (RSDN) to provide an inclusive, informal community group at Oxford for anyone interested in software development within academia. The 1st meeting is scheduled for 12:00 - 13:30 on Wednesday 20th September 2023 and will be hosted at the Doctoral Training Center (DTC), see address below.
