The research aims to understand how these interactions influence the mechanical properties of W, particularly in the context of neutron irradiation environments. The simulations were conducted with spherical and cylindrical particles at various temperatures and cell sizes to observe the effects on critical shear stress. Results indicate that the shape and size of the particles significantly affect the critical shear stress required for dislocation movement, with cylindrical particles requiring higher stresses than spherical ones. Additionally, the study found that temperature variations have a more pronounced effect on \u03c7-phase particles compared to hcp-phase particles. Our findings provide insights into the strengthening mechanisms in W-Re alloys and suggest potential pathways for enhancing the material\u2019s performance under extreme conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/computation12080168","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,19]],"date-time":"2024-08-19T10:11:28Z","timestamp":1724062288000},"page":"168","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Dislocation Interactions with Hcp- and \u03c7-Phase Particles in Tungsten: Molecular Dynamics Insights into Mechanical Strengthening Mechanisms"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Yu.
