+ | Dislocation interactions and failure mechanisms at mesoscopic length scales of metallic materials are usually out of reach of atomistic simulations, thus requiring effective continuum models to describe their collective behavior and the resulting constitutive response. Coarse-graining the crystalline atomic ensemble, e.g. by means of the quasicontinuum (QC) approximation [<span id='cite-1'></span>[[#1|1]], <span id='cite-2'></span>[[#2|2]]] combined with techniques to accelerate atomistic simulations [<span id='cite-3'></span>[[#3|3]]], provides an avenue to locally retain atomistic accuracy while being applicable to larger scales. One such method, the fully-nonlocal energy-based QC technique [<span id='cite-4'></span>[[#4|4]], <span id='cite-5'></span>[[#5|5]]] allows us to simulate the response of crystalline solids solely based on interatomic potentials but at significantly larger length scales than conventional molecular dynamics (MD). Here, we will apply this approach to study defect mechanisms in representative copper and aluminum single- and polycrystals.

Dislocation interactions and failure mechanisms at mesoscopic length scales of metallic materials are usually out of reach of atomistic simulations, thus requiring effective continuum models to describe their collective behavior and the resulting constitutive response. Coarse-graining the crystalline atomic ensemble, e.g. by means of the quasicontinuum (QC) approximation [1, 2] combined with techniques to accelerate atomistic simulations [3], provides an avenue to locally retain atomistic accuracy while being applicable to larger scales. One such method, the fully-nonlocal energy-based QC technique [4, 5] allows us to simulate the response of crystalline solids solely based on interatomic potentials but at significantly larger length scales than conventional molecular dynamics (MD). Here, we will apply this approach to study defect mechanisms in representative copper and aluminum single- and polycrystals. Among others, we will demonstrate the importance of coarsegrained atomistic simulations to avoid modeling artifacts inherited from nanoscale MD simulations.
Void nucleation, growth and coalescence are important mechanisms responsible for spall and ductile failure.
