Crack nucleation from a wedge disclination dipole with shift of rotation axes

This paper analyzes crack nucleation from a wedge disclination dipole in the presence of a remote stress, accounting for the shift of the rotation axes within the dipole arm of the disclinations. A Zener–Griffith crack is assumed and an energy method is employed for the analysis. A single energy equ...
