Some surface defects in unstressed thermoelastic solids (Q1073647): Difference between revisions

The purpose of the paper is to provide a mathematical foundation of the ''twinning'' phenomena in the framework of thermoelasticity theory. The term ''twinning'' originates in the literature on crystals and is used to describe phenomena involving different but symmetry-related configurations which coexist in crystals, meeting to form surfaces of discontinuity. The author presents a detailed analysis of the problem for an unstressed thermoelastic solid. Some special cases are discussed.
