SummaryAn approximate method is given for finding the equilibrium distribution of arrays of dislocations.The analysis is based on the assumption that an array of discrete dislocations may be replaced by a continuous distribution of smeared dislocation.The solutions of a number of problems of physical interest are investigated, including some in which dislocations of opposite sign are involved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
