Elastic Models of Crystal Defects

for the computation of the elastic states of dislocation loops by means of straight dislocation data. Chapter III presents the main results obtained so far in describing non-linear effects in the elastic field of straight dislocations, as well as in the study of the core configuration of dislocations by using semidiscrete methods. Chapter IV is devoted to the linear and non-linear theory of continuous distri- butions of dislocations and to its application to investigating the influence of d...
