 | | A description of dislocation and disclination defects in terms of the Riemann – Cartan geometry is given, with the curvature and torsion tensors interpreted as the surface densities of the Frank and Burgers vectors, respectively. |
 | | A new free-energy expression describing the static distribution of defects is presented and equations of nonlinear elasticity theory are used to specify the coordinate system. |
 | | Numerical simulation of the impact process made it possible to evaluate the diameter of the impact-produced crater as a function of the initial density and porosity of the cometary nucleus. |
