Book excerpt: Interaction between a moving dislocation and localized obstacles determines microstructure-induced hardening. The mechanisms and parameters of such interactions are necessary inputs to large scale dislocation dynamics modelling. We have developed a model to investigate these characteristics at the atomic level for dislocation-obstacle interactions under both static (T=0K) and dynamic (T>0K) conditions. We present results on hardening due to pinning of edge dislocations at obstacles such as voids, coherent precipitates and stacking fault tetrahedra in bcc-iron and fcc-copper at temperatures from 0 to 600K. It is demonstrated that atomic-scale simulation is required to determine the effects of stress, strain rate and temperature and that such effects cannot always be rationalized within continuum theory.
