Three-dimensional simulation of dislocation-crack interactions in BCC metals at the mesoscopic scale

A simulation of the dynamics of dislocation loops emitted at or close to a crack tip in b.c.c. metals is presented. The model simulates the growth of the crack tip plastic zone. The elastic (shielding) interactions between the plastic zone and the crack are calculated as a function of time and tempe...
