Abstract: The equilibrium positions of a dipole of edge dislocations embedded in a nanostructure composed of a strained two-dimensional layer buried in an infinite-size matrix with a rectangular nanowire located at the upper ...

Abstract: The destabilization of the steady-state regime of two semi-infinite half-spaces of different elastic coefficients sliding upon each other has been theoretically investigated when a rate-and-state friction constitutive law ...

Abstract: The introduction of a dislocation from the free-surface of a grain A of a polycrystal has been investigated from the theoretical point of view. Assuming two disclination dipoles are lying in a high angle boundary separating ...

Abstract: The formation of a dipole of edge dislocations inside one grain separated from the adjacent grains by two interfaces in which are lying disclination dipoles (one in each interface) has been theoretically investigated from ...

Abstract: The misfit stress in a thin layer embedded in a semi-infinite matrix has been first determined near the free surface of the structure, using the virtual dislocation formalism. From a Peach–Koehler force analysis, the ...

Abstract: The equilibrium positions of two edge dislocations located on either side of a grain boundary have been determined when a disclination dipole is lying in the boundary. It is found that a configuration where the dislocations ...

Abstract: In this paper, we study the wrinkling instability of two layers embedded in a homogeneous matrix of infinite size. Using a linear stability analysis, we characterize the wrinkling of the two layers as a function of the ...
