New classes: GrainBoundary, FreeSurface #30

Closed adhishm closed 11 years ago

It might be useful to define two new classes GrainBoundary and FreeSurface which would both inherit public Defect.

This would allow them to have their own typical stress field expressions as well as treatments in case of imminent collisions.

Stress fields

Grain boundary

The stress field of a grain boundary will be zero.

Free surface

The free surface is supposed to exert image forces on dislocation. In order to do this, information about the dislocation must be sent into the stressField function.

Classes GrainBoundary and FreeSurface defined. The classes may yet receive additional functions.
