ABSTRACT Generation and accumulation of atomic vacancy due to pair annihilation of edge dislocations during plastic slip deformation of metallic materials are numerically evaluated by crystal plasticity analysis. Dislocation density-based models are utilised in the deformation analysis and a theoretical model for the generation of atomic vacancies is introduced. Purely uniform single- and double-slip deformations are analysed and results show that the evolution of the vacancy density depends largely on the microstructure length scale and multiplication of slip activity on different slip systems.
