TL;DR: The Dusseldorf Advanced Material Simulation Kit (DAMASK) as mentioned in this paper is an open, flexible, and easy to use implementation to the scientific community that allows the use and straightforward implementation of different types of constitutive laws and numerical solvers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a physical-based theory of crystal plasticity based on systematic physical averages of the kinematics and dynamics of dislocation systems and demonstrate that this theory can predict microstructure evolution and size effects in accordance with experiments and discrete dislocation simulations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a dislocation density measure which is able to account for the evolution of three-dimensional curved dislocations and a self-consistent theory is built upon the measure which accounts for both the long-range interactions of dislations and their short-range self-interaction which is incorporated via a line-tension approximation.

TL;DR: Hochrainer et al. as discussed by the authors presented a brief overview of dislocation-based continuum plasticity models and illustrated the implementation of CDD by a numerical example, bending of a thin film, and compare with results obtained by three-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) simulation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a thermodynamically consistent average dislocation velocity is found to comprise five mesoscopic shear stress contributions for the lowest order CDD variant for curved dislocations in a single slip situation.
