Discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) codes enable researchers and scientists to explore the mechanical behavior of a material as impacted by its composition and microstructure. Understanding the strengthening mechanisms is very important for the development of new materials with improved and desired mechanical properties. One of the material strengthening/hardening mechanisms is solution hardening, and this method can be fundamentally understood from particle misfit models and the theory/implementation of dislocation dynamics. The overlapping of the eigenstrain fields of the misfit particles or solutes and the dislocations impedes the motion of dislocations and results in material hardening. This article incorporates the misfit particle model in a 3D DDD code in an attempt to capture this phenomenon and find the strength of solid solutions (for a binary Cu–Ni system) from the simulated stress–strain diagram. This study/research finds a good agreement between the simulation results and experimental data. The authors also correlate the strength differentials as a function of solute concentrations and compare them with relations in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
