Revisiting the Application of Field Dislocation and Disclination Mechanics to Grain Boundaries

We review the mechanical theory of dislocation and disclination density fields and its application to grain boundary modeling. The theory accounts for the incompatibility of the elastic strain and curvature tensors due to the presence of dislocations and disclinations. The free energy density is ass...
