Defect Mechanics

Defect Mechanics is a theoretical framework within solid mechanics that specifically characterizes the behavior and evolution of localized material imperfections—such as dislocations, cracks, and voids—by linking atomic-scale mechanisms to continuum-level deformation and failure responses in heterogeneous materials.
