Crack Nucleation Related Dislocation Dynamics - A Numerical Study on the FCC Metal

The present thesis consists of a number of studies on the fatigue related to dislocation dynamics phenomena. These studies were intended to provide an in-depth understanding of the dynamics at the atomic scale. Until now, our understanding on such atomistic dynamics remains sparse...
