Disclinations together with dislocations represent a class of linear defects in solids.
Disclinations are characterized by typical singularities and the property of multi-value of the …

This book describes behavior of crystalline solids primarily via methods of modern
continuum mechanics. Emphasis is given to geometrically nonlinear descriptions, ie, finite …

It seems there is no special need to comment on the term'nanostructure'now, when one often
meets the'nano'words not only in scientific journals but even in newspapers. Moreover …

Aspects of a constitutive model for characterizing crystalline metals containing a distribution
of dislocation and disclination defects are presented. Kinematics, balance laws, and general …

The kinematical relationships among the geometric quantities that characterise kink bands,
ridge kinks, and ortho kinks and the existence of disclinations in connecting kink bands were …

An overview of recent achievements of the disclination approach in mechanics and physics
of solids is given and the use of disclination modeling in materials science is demonstrated …

Cold‐working of metallic materials up to large strains is usually characterised by
simultaneous substructure evolution on different length scales and accompanied by the …

Theoretical models are reviewed which describe misfit defect structures at interfaces
(intergrain and interphase boundaries) in nanostructured and polycrystalline films. The …

The generation and propagation of misorientation bands in polycrystalline metals under
large deformation are theoretically investigated and discussed. Disclination models are …

A strain-hardening mechanism is considered theoretically for crystals with large shear
strains (γ= 1–10). According to this mechanism, the emergence of the fourth and fifth stages …
