However, these methods have many limitations. For example, the method using molecular dynamics mainly reveals the interaction mechanism between screw dislocations and irradiation defects from the atomic scale. Since the time and space scales simulated by molecular dynamics are limited, it cannot be widely applied. SUMMARY

[0016] In the following, exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description, not all of the features of the actual implementation are described in order to make the description clear and brief. However, it should be appreciated that many implementation-specific decisions must be made in order to develop any such actual implementation, to achieve the developers' specific goals, such as compliance with system- and business-related constraints, which will vary from one implementation to another. Moreover, it should be appreciated that a development effort, to develop any such actual implementation, can be complex and time-consuming, but would nevertheless be a routine undertaking for those of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of this disclosure.

[0018] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, technical or scientific terms used in the present application should be understood as having the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs.
[0019] In the description of embodiments of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality of" is at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0020] In the related art, if the method of dislocation dynamics and the method of crystal plasticity finite element are used to study the mechanical properties of materials, parameters characterizing the slip properties of screw dislocations need to be obtained. However, the method of dislocation dynamics and the method of crystal plasticity finite element currently used only consider the influence of irradiation defects on the effective shear stress of screw dislocations when considering the influence of irradiation defects on the slip of screw dislocations, and do not consider the influence of irradiation defects on the occurrence of kink pairs and the diffusion of kink pairs. Since screw dislocations have a special crystal structure, their slip motion is usually realized in two steps, i.e., the occurrence of kink pairs and the diffusion of kink pairs, therefore, the current research method is not applicable.
[0021] Embodiments of the present application provide a method for predicting the slip position of a screw dislocation of a material, the material in the embodiments of the present application is irradiated. Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a flowchart of the method for predicting the slip position of a screw dislocation of a material according to the embodiments of the present application, the method provided by the embodiments of the present application can include the following steps S1 to S7.

[0029] The method provided by the embodiments of the present application can determine the first probability of occurrence of the kink pair on the screw dislocation caused by the irradiation defect and the second probability of diffusion of the kink pair by the parameter of the slip motion relationship between the irradiation defect and the screw dislocation, and then determine the type of each of the plurality of dislocation segments according to the determined first probability and second probability, and further determine the slip position of each of the dislocation segments according to the type of each of the dislocation segments, so as to determine the slip position of the screw dislocation, which helps to fully consider the influence of the irradiation defect on the slip motion of the screw dislocation, thereby helping to improve the accuracy of the description of the irradiation influence on the slip behavior of the screw dislocation, and further helping to study the irradiation influence on the mechanical properties of the material.
[0030] In some embodiments, a Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) algorithm can be utilized to predict the effect of irradiation defects on the screw dislocation slip motion.
[0031] In some embodiments, the parameters of the relationship between the irradiation defects generated after irradiation and the screw dislocation slip motion in the material can be determined by initializing the simulation conditions.

Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a curve of the screw dislocation slip position over time according to different temperatures in embodiments of the present application, where curve c represents the screw dislocation slip position over time when the number of irradiation defects is 10 and the temperature is 300 K, and curve d represents the screw dislocation slip position over time when the number of irradiation defects is 10 and the temperature is 600 K.
[0034] In some embodiments, in the S2 step, under the condition of an applied stress, the screw dislocation can be divided into multiple dislocation segments for slip.
[0035] In some embodiments, during the slip process, the part of the dislocation segment that does not encounter irradiation defects can remain unchanged and continue to slip. Referring to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the interaction between irradiation defects and screw dislocations according to embodiments of the present application, where the part of the dislocation segment that encounters irradiation defects will stop slipping during the slip process. For the part of the dislocation segment that encounters irradiation defects, the type of the dislocation segment can include the occurrence of kink pairs, the diffusion of kink pairs, and being fixed.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first fitting parameter to the second fitting parameter can be obtained through simulation, and the parameter size is related to the type of material and is irrelevant to irradiation defects.
[0041] In some embodiments, the expression (1) can be obtained through the following expression (2) to expression (4):

[0049] The method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be used to more accurately determine the second probability of the diffusion of the kink pair on the screw dislocation when the irradiation defects exist, by using the above expression (5).

When the dislocation segment encounters the irradiation defects and neither the first probability nor the second probability is satisfied, the type of the dislocation segment is the fixation.
[0053] In some embodiments, when the slipping dislocation segment does not encounter the irradiation defects, the type of the dislocation segment is to continue to slip in the original state.
[0054] In some embodiments, the slip speed of the dislocation segment in the type of keeping the original state and continuing to slip satisfies the following expression (6):
[0055]
[0056] wherein, v k represents the slip speed of the kink pair, τ b represents the stress when the dislocation segment keeps the original state and continues to slip, and B represents the slip friction coefficient.

[0061] The method provided by the embodiments of the present application can further improve the accuracy of determining the type of dislocation segment.
[0062] In some embodiments, in the step S6, when the type of the dislocation segment is the occurrence of kink pairs, the slip position of the dislocation segment is the position of the previous moment plus a predetermined value.
[0063] In some embodiments, the predetermined value can be set according to experience.
[0064] In some embodiments, in the step S6, when the type of the dislocation segment is the diffusion of kink pairs, the slip positions of the two adjacent dislocation segments of the dislocation segment are consistent with the slip position of the dislocation segment.
[0065] In some embodiments, in the step S6, when the type of the dislocation segment is fixed, the slip position of the dislocation segment is the position of the previous moment.
[0066] In some embodiments, in the step S6, when the type of the dislocation segment is the original slip, the slip position of the dislocation segment is the position of the next moment.
