Non-linear generalized elasticity of icosahedral quasicrystals
نویسنده
چکیده
Quasicrystals can carry, in addition to the classical phonon displacement field, a phason displacement field, which requires a generalized theory of elasticity. In this paper, the third-order strain invariants (including phason strain) of icosahedral quasicrystals are determined. They are connected with 20 independent third-order elastic constants. By means of non-linear elasticity, phason strains with icosahedral irreducible Γ-symmetry can be obtained by phonon stress, which is impossible in linear elasticity. PACS numbers: 61.44.Br Quasicrystals, 62.20.Dc Elasticity, elastic constants

Elastic theory of icosahedral quasicrystals – application to straight dislocations
In quasicrystals, there are not only conventional, but also phason displacement fields and associated Burgers vectors. We have calculated approximate solutions for the elastic fields induced by two-, threeand fivefold straight screwand edge-dislocations in infinite icosahedral quasicrystals by means of a generalized perturbation method. Starting from the solution for elastic isotropy in phonon ...
متن کاملDefects in Static Elasticity of Quasicrystals
A review on mathematical elasticity of quasicrystals is given. In this review, the focus is on various defects of quasicrystals. Dislocation and crack are two classes of typical topological defects, while their existence has great influence on the mechanical behavior of quasicrystals. The analytic and numerical solutions of dislocations and crack in quasicrystals are the core of the static and ...
متن کاملAtom Clusters with Icosahedral Symmetry in Cubic Alloy Phases Related to Icosahedral Quasicrystals
Icosahedral symmetry can not be allowed to exist in crystalline phases. However, the structures of some crystalline alloy phases are characterized by packing of atom clusters with icosahedral symmetry, and their structures are considered to be closely related to the structures of icosahedral quasicrystals. For examples, a cubic α-(AlMnSi) crystalline phase with a lattice constant of 1.264 nm is...
