Brittle Fracture Model Parameter Estimation for Irradiated BCC Material through Dislocation Based Crystal Plasticity Model by Kulbir Singh, Christian Robertson, Arun Kumar Bhaduri

“…In view of dislocations mobility being a fundamental property to determine the plastic behavior, a dislocations based material model is proposed which has a physical rather than phenomenological basis. This material model accounts for both thermally activated and athermal regime dislocation mobilities in BCC materials and is capable of predicting the effect of irradiation induced defects on the mobility of the dislocations which in turn directly affect the behavior of such materials. …”
