Generalized Continua and Dislocation Theory. Theoretical Concepts, Computational Methods and Experimental Verification

The book features four lectures on generalized continua and dislocation theory, covering various scales. G. Maugin discusses continuum formulations of defects, while C. Sansour and S. Skatulla explore linear transformation groups and continuum theory. S. Forest addresses generalized crystal plasticity, and H. Zbib highlights dislocation dynamics, supported by extensive computational examples.
