Physical properties of crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, the physical properties of crystals systematically in tensor notation are presented, presenting tensor properties in terms of their common mathematical basis and the thermodynamic relations between them.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some geometrical relations in dislocated crystals
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the trajectories of the deformed glide planes (the c-axes in hexagonal metals) are straight lines, and that the lattice becomes curved when a single crystal deforms by double gliding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dislocations in wave trains
John F. Nye,Michael V Berry +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that dislocations are to be expected whenever limited trains of waves, ultimately derived from the same oscillator, travel in different directions and interfere -for example in a scattering problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Mechanics of Glacier Flow
TL;DR: In this paper, the flow of valley glaciers is examined in the light of recent laboratory experiments on the behaviour of ice under load, and simple expressions are given for the velocity distributions in some cases of laminar flow, and the modification of a pure LFL theory necessary to explain the formation of transverse crevasses and thrust planes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water Flow in Glaciers: Jökulhlaups, Tunnels and Veins
TL;DR: In this paper, the physics of water flow within and under glacier ice is examined with special reference to the periodic catastrophic outbursts of water (jokulhlaups) from the subglacial lake Grimsvotn, Vatnajokull, Iceland.
