A canonical quantization procedure is applied to the interaction of elastic waves-phonons-with infinitely long dislocations that can oscillate about an equilibrium, straight line, configuration. The interaction is implemented ...

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) denotes a wide spectrum of pathologies ranging from hip instability to frank dislocation. The current understanding is that cases of late diagnosis were missed during the newborn ...

Using molecular-dynamics simulation, we study nanoindentation and scratching in an Fe (1 0 0) surface. We find an indentation hardness of 20 GPa in good agreement with experiment and previous simulations. The length of the ...

The inveterate patellar dislocation is an uncommon entity. The most frequent findings correspond to a misaligned valgus associated with lateral patellar dislocation. When severe knee osteoarthritis is present, total knee ...

Dislocations are the primary agents of permanent deformation in crystalline solids. Since the theoretical prediction of supersonic dislocations over half a century ago, there is a dearth of experimental evidence supporting ...

Reactor pressure vessel steels are well-known to harden and embrittle under neutron irradiation. The primary mechanism of radiation embrittlement for these bainitic steels is the obstruction of dislocation motion, mainly ...

The scattering of a surface wave by a pinned edge dislocation in a semi-infinite, homogeneous, isotropic, three-dimensional elastic solid is investigated analytically and numerically. An incident wave excites the dislocation ...
