We develop a non-singular theory of three-dimensional dislocation loops in a particular version of Mindlin's anisotropic gradient elasticity with up to six length scale parameters. The theory is systematically developed as a generalization…
Dislocation dynamic is a typically gradient flow problem, and most of work solves it just as ODE, which means that the interacting energy of dislocations is ignored. We take the interaction energy into account and use it to introduce new…
In order to predict the long-term effects of irradiation on the material properties of tungsten, a continuum approach to simulating the interactions of dislocation loops, which arise from radiation damage, is proposed. Continuum models of…

We show that the strain-induced attraction between Abrikosov vortices has a non-core contribution overlooked up until now. This contribution is an example of the universal mechanism of soliton attraction in solids revealed in [Phys. Rev. B…
A description of dislocations and disclinations defects in terms of Riemann--Cartan geometry is given, with the curvature and torsion tensors being interpreted as the surface densities of the Frank and Burgers vectors, respectively. A new…

In this work we examine the driving force for edge dislocations to climb in $\alpha$-Fe from atomistic and mesoscale viewpoints. We study the bias for the climb process depending on the dislocation orientation and the applied stress as…
The interaction of C atoms with a screw and an edge dislocation is modelled at an atomic scale using an empirical Fe-C interatomic potential based on the Embedded Atom Method (EAM) and molecular statics simulations. Results of atomic…
A living cell actively generates traction forces on its environment with its actin cytoskeleton. These forces deform the cell elastic substrate which, in turn, affects the traction forces exerted by the cell and can consequently modify the…

Progress toward a first-principles theory of plasticity and work-hardening is currently impeded by an insufficient picture of dislocation kinetics (the dynamic effect of driving forces in a given dislocation theory). This is because present…
This study presents a physically consistent displacement-driven reformulation of the concept of action-at-a-distance, which is at the foundation of nonlocal elasticity. In contrast to existing approaches that adopts an integral…
The magnetic field of moving vortices in anisotropic superconductors is considered in the framework of time-dependent London approach. It is found that at distances large relative to the core size, the field may change sign that alludes to…
The linear response of two-dimensional amorphous elastic bodies to an external delta force is determined in analogy with recent experiments on granular aggregates. For the generated forces, stress and displacement fields, we find strong…
A novel semidiscrete Peierls-Nabarro model is introduced which can be used to study dislocation spreading at more than one slip planes, such as dislocation cross-slip and junctions. The strength of the model, when combined with ab initio…
We consider a cellular monolayer, described using a vertex-based model, for which cells form a spatially disordered array of convex polygons that tile the plane. Equilibrium cell configurations are assumed to minimize a global energy…
We derive a phase field crystal model that couples the diffusive evolution of a microscopic structure with the fast dynamics of a macroscopic velocity field, explicitly accounting for the relaxation of elastic excitations. This model…
