1. Introduction
2. elastic fields of dislocations
3. slip, crystallography
4. equations of motion of dislocations
a) fcc
b) bcc
5. interaction between dislocations
6. molecular dynamics
7. discrete dislocation dynamics
8. continuum description of dislocations

The student

• has the basic understanding of the physical basics to describe dislocations and their interaction with point, line and area defects.
• can apply modelling approaches for dislocation based plasticity.
• can explain discrete methods for modelling of microstructural evolution processes.
