    Abstract

    The interaction of dislocation pile-ups with several tilt grain boundaries (GB) is studied in copper by using a hybrid continuum-atomistic approach. The effects of temperature, pile-up intensity and GB structure on absorption and transmission of slip as a function of local stress state are explored. By considering several high-angle GBswith different misorientation angles, we demonstrate that GB atomic structure primarily defines its ability to accommodate incoming pile-up dislocations, thus limiting the direct transmission of pile-ups through the interface.
