Annihilation and sources in continuum dislocation dynamics

Abstract Continuum dislocation dynamics (CDD) aims at representing the evolution of systems of curved and connected dislocation lines in terms of density-like field variables. Here we discuss how the processes of dislocation multiplication and annihilation can be described within such a framework. W...
