Equation of motion for grain boundaries in polycrystals

Abstract Grain boundary (GB) dynamics are largely controlled by the formation and motion of disconnections (with step and dislocation characters) along with the GB. The dislocation character gives rise to shear coupling; i.e. the relative tangential motion of two grains meeting at the GB during GB m...
