EFFECTIVE DISLOCATION LINES IN CONTINUOUSLY DISLOCATED CRYSTALS I. MATERIAL ANHOLONOMITY

摘要

A continuous geometric description of Bravais monocrystals with many dislocations and secondary point defects created by the distribution of these dislocations is proposed. Namely, it is distinguished, basing oneself on Kondo and Kroner's Gedanken Experiments for dislocated bodies, an anholonomic triad of linearly independent vector fields. The triad defines local crystallographic directions of the defective crystal as well as a continuous counterpart of the Burgers vector for single dislocations. Next, the influence of secondary point defects on the distribution of many dislocations is modeled by treating these local crystallographic directions, as well as Burgers circuits, as those located in such a Riemannian material space that becomes an Euclidean 3-manifold when dislocations are absent. Some consequences of this approach are discussed.
