Weyl Geometry and the Nonlinear Mechanics of Distributed Point Defects

In this paper we obtain the residual stress field of a nonlinear elastic solid with a spherically-symmetric distribution of point defects. The material manifold of a solid with distributed point defects – where the body is stressfree – is a flat Weyl manifold, i.e. a manifold with an affine connecti...
