Abstract
A new type of linear disclinations in a cylindrical capillary with a nemati c liquid crystal (NLC) has been studied. It can be considered as a generali zed linear disclination of the unit strength. The exact analytical expressi ons for the elastic held components, lines of force, and the free energy of deformation have been derived. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
