The kinematic theory of Weingarten-Volterra line defects is revisited, both at small and finite deformations. Existing results are clarified and corrected as needed, and new results are obtained. The primary focus is to understand the…
A generalized disclination (g.disclination) theory [AF15] has been recently introduced that goes beyond treating standard translational and rotational Volterra defects in a continuously distributed defects approach; it is capable of…
In this paper we study the twist disclination within the elastoplastic defect theory. Using the stress function method, we found exact analytical solutions for all characteristic fields of a straight twist disclination in an infinitely…
Dissipative models for the quasi-static and dynamic response due to slip in an elastic body containing a single slip plane of vanishing thickness are developed. Discrete dislocations with continuously distributed cores can glide on this…
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…
A phenomenological model of the evolution of an ensemble of interacting dislocations in an isotropic elastic medium is formulated. The line-defect microstructure is described in terms of a spatially coarse-grained order parameter, the…
A conical topological defect is the result of translational and/or rotational deformations of spacetime, in particular the Burgers vector describes the translational deformation. Such a configuration represents a discontinuity, that cannot…
We describe defects - dislocations and disclinations - in the framework of Riemann-Cartan geometry. Curvature and torsion tensors are interpreted as surface densities of Frank and Burgers vectors, respectively. Equations of nonlinear…
A variant of a gauge theory is formulated to describe disclinations on Riemannian surfaces that may change both the Gaussian (intrinsic) and mean (extrinsic) curvatures, which implies that both internal strains and a location of the surface…
Geometrical objects describing the material geometry of continuously defective graphene sheets are introduced and their compatibility conditions are formulated. Effective edge dislocations embedded in the Riemann-Cartan material space and…
The present work provides fundamental quantities in generalized elasticity and dislocation theory of quasicrystals. In a clear and straightforward manner, the three-dimensional Green tensor of generalized elasticity theory and the extended…
In this paper we consider the dynamics of dislocations with the same Burgers vector, contained in the same glide plane, and moving in a material with periodic obstacles. We study two cases: i) the particular case of parallel straight…
We introduce a phenomenological theory of dislocation motion appropriate for two dimensional lattices. A coarse grained description is proposed that involves as primitive variables local lattice rotation and Burgers vector densities along…
In this paper a geometric field theory of dislocation dynamics and finite plasticity in single crystals is formulated. Starting from the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into elastic and plastic parts, we use…
We consider a wedge dislocation in the framework of elasticity theory and the geometric theory of defects. We show that the geometric theory reproduces quantitatively all the results of elasticity theory in the linear approximation. The…
We revisit the geometric theory of defects. In the differential-geometric models of defects that have been adopted since the 1950s, dislocations have been associated with torsion, disclinations with the full curvature, and point defects…
Incomplete stacking dislocations are predicted to form at edges of the shorter upper layer in two-dimensional hexagonal bilayers upon stretching the longer bottom layer. A concept of the edge Burgers vector is introduced to describe such…
The static stress needed to depin a 2D edge dislocation, the lower dynamic stress needed to keep it moving, its velocity and displacement vector profile are calculated from first principles. We use a simplified discrete model whose far…
Responses to questions, comments and criticism of our recent paper "General Relativity Resolves.." are provided. It is emphasized that our model is entirely natural to describe the dynamics of an axially symmetric galaxy and that our…
We identify a one-to-one correspondence between the charge localized around a dislocation characterized by a generic Burgers vector and the Berry phase associated with the electronic Bloch waves of two-dimensional crystalline insulators.…
