This contribution deals with the numerical simulation of dislocation dynamics. Dislocations are described by means of the evolution of a family of closed or open smooth curves $\Gamma \left(t\right):S\to {ℝ}^2$, $t\geqq 0$. The curves are driven by the normal velocity $v$ which is the function of curvature $\kappa$ and the position. The evolution law reads as: $v=-\kappa +F$. The motion law is treated using direct approach numerically solved by two schemes, i. e., backward Euler semi-implicit and semi-discrete method of lines. Numerical stability is improved...
