Influence of anisotropic elasticity on the mechanical properties of fivefold twinned nanowires

Submitted by Erik Bitzek on

 

In this paper in the Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids (vol. 84, p. 358, 

http://authors.elsevier.com/a/1Rk5057Zjdx-o ) we propose a
new theory for the mechanical properties of fivefold twinned nanowires.

We show that the Frank vector of the central wedge disclination depends on the uniaxial strain,
