A. Carpio et al., Pile-up solutions for some systems of conservation laws modelling dislocation interaction in crystals, SIAM J A MA, 61(6), 2001, pp. 2168-2199
Some continuum models for dislocation interactions in a simple crystal geom
etry are studied. The simplest models are mixed systems ofconservation laws
which are shown to exhibit singularities and instabilities. These are then
regularized, leading to parabolic free-boundary problems. In both cases, s
olutions describing the formation of structures such as dislocation pile-up
s are discussed.
