- Additional information
- This article offers the first complete explanation of the attenuation of the dynamic yield point, a phenomenon that had resisted explanation for 60 years. It also showcases the development of Dynamic Discrete Dislocation Plasticity (D3P), the world's first formulation of dislocation dynamics that is truly time-dependent. Gurrutxaga-Lerma was awarded the Institute of Physics Computational Physics PhD Award 2014 for this research (http://iop.cld.iop.org/activity/groups/subject/comp/prize/page_40691.html), and in awarding the 2018 David Tabor Medal, the Institute of Physics explicitly mentioned the development of D3P and the study of the attenuation of the yield point as one of the key reasons for the award (http://www.iop.org/about/awards/subject/tabor/tabor-medallists/page_71682.html).
