Could dislocation density fields be an appropriate medium for the decription of crystal defects in both atomistic and continuum simulations? Our new paper demonstrate that even large-angle grain boundaries can be represented with this metric: Kharouji et al., Atomistic to continuum mechanics description of crystal defects with dislocation density fields: Application to dislocations and grain boundaries, International Journal of Plasticity 177 (2024) 103990 [open access].
