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…
We determine the general form of the potential of the problem of motion of a rigid body about a fixed point, which allows the angular velocity to remain permanently in a principal plane of inertia of the body. Explicit solution of the…
