Abstract:The stochastic dynamics of dislocations on a one-dimensional periodic lattice domain are considered. Two models are studied: one without a collision rule, and one which annihilates colliding dislocations if they have opposite orientation. The behaviour of both models is investigated by means of a series of numerical simulations exploring the asymptotic behaviour of these models as the number of dislocations increases. From these simulations, evidence is obtained that the discrete model with annihilation tends to a PDE for the dislocation density that accounts for annihilation. However, the discrete model without a collision rule does not appear to exhibit consistent convergence behaviour; instead, it appears that the expected PDE with conserved dislocation density appears in the limit for some parameters, but that for other parameters the density appears to follow to the evolution of the PDE with annihilation. These findings provide evidence that a careful treatment of dislocation collisions is important in discrete dislocation dynamics models.
