A set of classes defining the behaviour of crystalline defects, with the final goal of carrying out dislocation dynamics simulations in two dimensions.
Objective:
For each slip plane, a near-field table should be generated. This table would contain all the obstacles which are close to the dislocations of that slip plane.
Benefit:
When searching for the obstacle or defect nearest to a given dislocation, the program will not have to pass through the entire list of defects, but only through this reduced list. This list may be updated once in a predefined number of iterations, or when one or more defects disappear.
