The research project focuses on the computational materials modelling of metals microstructure. Within the project, polycrystalline materials shall be micromechanically investigated by means of dislocation-based crystal plasticity. The goal is to gain a clearer understanding in the nonlocal behaviour and to obtain useful models for the prediction of the inelastic response, which become relevant in applications such as micro-manufactured structures.
