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…

The appealing connection between non-Euclidean geometries and defects in solids is brought forth in this article. Drawing a correspondence between the nature of a defect and a specific geometric property of the material space not only…

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…

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…

In the geometric theory of defects, media with a spin structure, for example, ferromagnet, is considered as a manifold with given Riemann--Cartan geometry. We consider the case with the Euclidean metric corresponding to the absence of…

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…

This study presents a comprehensive mathematical model for Volterra defects and explores their relations using differential geometry on Riemann--Cartan manifolds. Following the standard Volterra process, we derived the Cartan moving frame,…

Einstein-like Lagrangian field theory is developed to describe elastic solid containing dislocations with finite-sized core. The framework of the Riemann-Cartan geometry in three dimensions is used, and the core self-energy is expressed by…

The method of Hamilton-Jacobi is used to obtain geodesics around non- Riemannian planar torsional defects.It is shown that by perturbation expansion in the Cartan torsion the geodesics obtained are parabolic curves along the plane x-z when…

A continuum model to study the influence of dislocations on the electronic properties of condensed matter systems is described and analyzed. The model is based on a geometrical formalism that associates a density of dislocations with the…

A new geometrically exact micro-structured model is constructed using a generalisation of the notion of Riemann-Cartan manifolds and fibre bundle theory of rank 3. This model is based around the concept of two different length scales: a…

This paper is an attempt to introduce methods and concepts of the Riemann-Cartan geometry largely used in such physical theories as general relativity, gauge theories, solid dynamics, etc. to fluid dynamics in general and to studying and…

This study undertakes the mathematical modelling and numerical analysis of dislocations within the framework of differential geometry. The fundamental configurations, i.e. reference, intermediate and current configurations, are expressed as…

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…

The Einstein-Cartan theory of gravitation and the classical theory of defects in an elastic medium are presented and compared. The former is an extension of general relativity and refers to four-dimensional space-time, while we introduce…

This paper develops a geometrical model of dislocations and disclinations in single crystals at the mesoscopic scale. In the continuation of previous work the distribution theory is used to represent concentrated effects in the defect lines…

We consider static massive thin cylindrical shells (tubes) as the sources in Einstein's equations. They correspond to $\dl$- and $\dl'$-function type energy-momentum tensors. The corresponding metric components are found explicitly. They…

In the present paper a geometrization of electrodynamics is proposed which makes use of a generalization of Riemannian geometry considered already by Einstein and Cartan in the 20ies. Cartan's differential forms description of a…

Cosmic strings, as topological spacetime defects, show striking resemblance to defects in solid continua: distortions, which can be classified into disclinations and dislocations, are line-like defects characterized by a delta…

We develop a theory to represent dislocated single crystals at the mesoscopic scale by considering concentrated effects, governed by the distribution theory combined with multiple-valued kinematic fields. Our approach gives a new…
