Dislocation jamming and Andrade creep

We simulate the glide motion of an assembly of interacting dislocations under the action of an external shear stress and show that the associated plastic creep relaxation follows Andrade’s law. Our results indicate that Andrade creep in plastically deforming crystals involves the correlated motion o...
