報(bào)告摘要：
Recently the author and his co-workers have developed an atomistic based multiscale crystal defect dynamics (MCDD), which is based on an interphase process zone model. In this work, we formulate a quasi-crystal model for defect formation in a perfect crystal solid, and this multiscale quasi-crystal defect dynamics model provides insights on dynamics behaviors of lattice defects and their evolutions. In particular, in this approach, we adopt various coarse grain materials models for both bulk media and material interphase or process zone. In bulk elements, the first order Cauchy-Born rule is adopted, so we can formulate an atomistic enriched continuum constitutive relation to describe the material behaviors. All the nonlinear deformations are assumed to be confined inside the process zone, and the process zone between the bulk elements is remodeled as a finite-width strip whose lattice constants and atomistic potential may be the same or different from those of the bulk medium. Inside the interphase zone, the higher order Cauchy-Born rules are adopted in process zones, and a higher order strain gradient-like coarse grain constitutive model is derived, which can capture the size-effect at the small scales. All interphase or process zones are constructed such that they are part (a subset) of slip planes in a lattice space.

The multiscale crystal defect dynamics has been applied to simulate both dislocation motion and crack propagations in both single crystals and polycrystals. We have employed the MCDD method to study and to simulate the impact and fragmentation of polycrystals and powder alloys under extreme conditions.
