In this paper, three dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics method was used to quantitatively investigate the influence of initial defects on mechanical response of single crystal copper. Both the irradiation defects (interstitial loops) and random dislocation lines with different densities are considered. The simulation results demonstrate that the yield strength of single crystal copper is higher with higher initial dislocation density and higher interstitial loop density. Dislocation density increases quickly by nucleation and multiplication and microbands are formed during plastic deformation when only the random dislocation lines are initially considered. Characteristics of microbands show excellent agreement with experiment results. Dislocation multiplication is suppressed in the presence of interstitial loops, and junctions and locks between dislocations and interstitial loops are formed. Dislocation density evolution shows fluctuation accompanied with strain-stress curve fluctuation.

A comprehensive 3D discrete dislocation dynamics model for Ni-base single crystal superalloys was used to investigate the influence of excess volumes induced by solute atoms Re and W on dislocation motion and creep under different tensile loads at 850 ° C. The solute atoms were distributed homogeneously only in γ matrix channels. Their excess volumes due to the size difference from the host Ni were calculated by density functional theory. The excess volume affected dislocation glide more strongly than dislocation climb. The relative positions of dislocations and solute atoms determined the magnitude of back stresses on the dislocation motion. Without diffusion of solute atoms, it was found that W with a larger excess volume had a stronger strengthening effect than Re. With increasing concentration of solute atoms, the creep resistance increased. However, a low external stress reduced the influence of different excess volumes and different concentrations on creep.
