First, a new regularization method with slip plane dependent regularization parameter is proposed in this paper to localize the discrete plastic strain to continuum Keywords: material points and shows excellent accuracy compared with previous studies. Second, it is A. Dislocation often thought of that DCM cannot accurately calculate the so called ‘image force’ acting on A. Image force A. Finite deformation the dislocation near free surface. This study argu
