Figure 4
Analytical dislocation density prediction where each curve represents a unique strain rate.
The dislocation density is highly dependent on the HEL and curves are truncated below this limit corresponding to an elastic response; the material would have a dislocation density unchanged from its intrinsic value. The symbols track the dislocation density evolution observed during the simulation. At 3.0 ps, the MD dislocation density approaches the one analytically predicted for 1010 s−1, demonstrating the agreement between the two approaches (analytical and MD).
