A novel Monte Carlo-based solver for discrete dislocation dynamics has been developed, providing insights into the evolution of dislocation structures. The study reveals that the characteristic width of dislocation wall structures is influenced by the interactions within the wall but not the mean dislocation spacing. Algorithmic improvements also offer valuable insights into structure evolution.
A novel Monte Carlo (MC) based solver for discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) has been developed, by which dislocation lines are inserted to the system in succession subject to a user-defined acceptance criterion. Utilizing this solver, dislocation structure evolution can be examined in a controlled fashion that is not possible using conventional DDD methods. The outcomes of the MC-DDD simulations establish for the first time that dislocation wall structures can adopt a characteristic width that naturally arises from elastic interactions within the network. This characteristic width does not alter as additional dislocation lines are inserted and the density in the wall increases, meaning it is independent of the mean dislocation spacing. However, the wall width is influenced by the acceptance criterion used during MC steps; the wall gets thinner as the interactions within the wall become more attractive. Finally, we demonstrate that algorithmic aspects of MC-DDD simulations can provide insights into structure evolution. Overall, this new MC-DDD technique will allow systematic studies of dislocation structures, providing unprecedented insight into the underlying mechanics.
