In this Thesis we first show how the shape of the Peierls barrier and its dependence on the applied loading can be extracted from the data obtained in atomistic studies at 0 K. We consider the Peierls barrier as a two-dimensional periodic…

A dynamic crack tip equation of motion is proposed based on the autonomy of the near-tip nonlinear zone of scale $\ell_{nl}$, symmetry principles, causality and scaling arguments. Causality implies that the asymptotic linear-elastic fields…

Dislocations, as topological defects in crystal lattices, are fundamental to understanding plasticity in materials. Similar periodic structures also arise in continuum field theories, such as chiral soliton lattices (CSLs), which appear in…
