Dislocations in crystals   back  
Some defects in crystal lattices have topological character. 
In this block we characterize them and consider their static 
and dynamical properties. 

1. Static Aspects of dislocations

Content:

Structure: Volterra construction of screw and edge dislocations.

Theory of elastic media, static.

Energy of a dislocation and interaction among dislocations in 
an isotropic elastic medium.

2. Dynamical aspects of dislocations

Content:

Theory of elastic media, dynamical

Uniform motion of dislocations

Vibration of dislocations
