Computational Biomechanics for Medicine XI (http://www.cbm.mech.uwa.edu.au/CBM2016/ will be held in Athens, Greece, on 17 October 2016, in conjunction with MICCAI 2016 (http://www.miccai2016.org/).
Predicting the rate at which dislocations overcome obstacles is key to understanding the microscopic features that govern the plastic flow of modern alloys. In this spirit, the current manuscript examines the rate at which an edge dislocation overcomes an obstacle in aluminum. Predictions were made using different popular variants of Harmonic Transition State Theory (HTST) and compared to those of direct Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. The HTST predictions were found to be grossly inaccurate due to the large entropy barrier associated with the dislocation–obstacle interaction.
In this paper we propose diff erent classes of isotropic microstructured media with tunable Poisson's ratio. The elastic periodic systems are continuous porous media and two- and three-dimensional lattices. The microstructural parameters can be tuned in order to have an eff ective Poisson's ratio equal to zero. The connection between microstructural parameters and eff ective properties is shown in detail both analytically and numerically.
Continuous system with null Poisson's ratio:
This paper proposes the design of a two-dimensional porous solid with omnidirectional negative Poisson's ratio. The hexagonal periodic distribution of the pores makes the e ffective behavior isotropic. Both experimental tests and numerical simulations have been performed to determine the e ffective properties of the porous solid. A parametric study on the e ffect of the geometrical microstructural parameters is also presented. This auxetic structure is easy to fabricate and can be very useful in several engineering applications.

1. Introduction
Discrete dislocation dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the dislocation microstructure evolution and cyclic hardening during the early stages of fatigue loading in nickel single crystals. The effects of the crystal size and initial dislocation densities on both the mechanical response and the evolution of dislocation microstructure were quantified. Crystals having an initial dislocation density of 1012 m−2 and diameter less than do not show any dislocation density multiplication or cyclic hardening.
