Dislocations and cracks in generalized continua

Abstract

Dislocations play a key role in the understanding of many phenomena in solid state physics, materials science, crystallography and engineering. Dislocations are line defects producing distortions and self-stresses in an otherwise perfect crystal lattice. In particular, dislocations are the primary carrier of crystal plasticity and in dislocation based fracture mechanics.
