“…He realized that the curvature and the torsion of the reference manifold are measures of incompatibility and the density of dislocations, respectively. Defects due to plastic deformations naturally occur in most of the known problems in mechanics and tribology, e.g., contact mechanics [23,4,24,5,25], mechanical impact [15,26], and dislocation-boundary interactions [60,22]. Other examples of anelastic sources include swelling and cavitation [44,20,40], bulk and surface growth [2,65,50], thermal strains [53,42,48], and the presence of inclusions and inhomogeneities [69,19,18,17].…”
