Efficient and quantitatively accurate multiscale simulation of solid-solution strengthening by ab initio calculationWe propose an approach for the computationally efficient and quantitatively accurate prediction of solid-solution strengthening. It combines the 2-D Peierls-Nabarro model and a recently developed solid-solution strengthening model. Solid-solution strengthening is examined with Al-Mg and Al-Li as representative alloy systems, demonstrating a good agreement between theory and experiments within the temperature range in which the dislocation motion is overdamped. Through a parametric study, two guideline maps of the misfit parameters against (i) the critical resolved shear stress, tau0, at 0 K and (ii) the energy barrier, DEb, against dislocation motion in a solid solution with randomly distributed solute atoms are created. With these two guideline maps, tau0 at finite temperatures is predict
