Void growth by dislocation adsorption

We propose a dislocation adsorption-based mechanism for void growth in metals, wherein a void grows as dislocations from the bulk annihilate at its surface. The basic process is governed by glide and cross-slip of dislocations at the surface of a void. Using molecular dynamics simulations we show th...
