Abstract
For dislocation loops, the zeroth moment of dislocation strength always vanishes so that the first moment must be defined in order to give a continuum description. A second order tensor is thus introduced to account for the dislocation moment. This physical quantity contains more information than the macroscopic plastic strain. Its connection with the mathematical theory of slip is illustrated.
