This formalism is based on the elastic equivalence between a dislocation loop and a platelet inclusion of specific stress-free strain related to the loop Burgers vector and normal. Dislocations are thus treated as platelet inclusions and may be coupled dynamically to any other field such as a concentration field. The method is illustrated through the simulation of a Frank-Read source and of the shrinkage of a loop in presence of a concentration field.6 pages, submitted to the Proceedings of MRS Fall 2000Materials ScienceStatistical Mechanicstext
