Abstract
The incompatibility of linearized piecewise smooth strain field, arising out of volumetric and surface densities of topological defects and metric anomalies, is investigated. First, general forms of compatibility equations are derived for a piecewise smooth strain field, defined over a simply connected domain, with either a perfectly bonded or an imperfectly bonded interface. Several special cases are considered and discussed in the context of existing results in the literature. Next, defects, representing dislocations and disclinations, and metric anomalies, representing extra matter, interstitials, thermal, and growth strains, etc., are introduced in a unified framework which allows for incorporation of their bulk and surface densities, as well as for surface densities of defect dipoles. Finally, strain incompatibility relations are derived both on the singular interface, and away from it, with sources in terms of defect and metric anomaly densities. With appropriate choice of constitutive equations, the incompatibility relations can be used to determine the state of internal stress within a body in response to the given prescription of defects and metric anomalies.

A sequence of smooth functions \(\phi _{m} \in \mathcal{D}(\varOmega )\) converges to 0 if \(\phi _{m}\), for all \(m\), are supported in a fixed compact support and \(\phi _{m}\) and its derivatives to every order converge uniformly to 0. A functional \(T\) is continuous if, for any sequence of smooth functions \(\phi _{m} \in \mathcal{D}(\varOmega )\) converging to 0, \(T(\phi _{m})\) converges to 0.
Any locally integrable function \(f\) can be associated with a distribution \(T_{f} \in \mathcal{D}'(\varOmega )\) such that, for all \(\phi \in \mathcal{D}(\varOmega )\),
$$ T_{f} (\phi )= \int _{\varOmega } f \phi dv. $$(6)For a differentiable function \(f \in C^{1} (\varOmega )\),
$$ {\partial _{i} T_{f}} (\phi )=- \int _{\varOmega } f \frac{ \partial \phi }{\partial x_{i}} dv = \int _{\varOmega } \frac{\partial f}{ \partial x_{i}} \phi dv. $$(7)Hence, \({\partial _{i} T_{f}} = T_{\frac{\partial f}{\partial x_{i}}}\). The definition of partial derivative for distributions therefore generalises the notion of partial derivative for differentiable functions.
Given a distribution \(T(\phi )=\int _{\varOmega }b\phi dv + \int _{S} c \phi da\) such that \(b\) is piecewise smooth in \(\varOmega \) (smooth in \(\varOmega -S\)) and \(c\) is a smooth function on \(S\). Let \(T(\phi )=0\) for any \(\phi \in \mathcal{D}(\varOmega )\). At \(x_{0} \in \varOmega -S\), if \(b(x_{0})=b_{0} > 0\), there exists a connected set \(A\subset \varOmega -S\) with non-zero volume such that \(b \neq 0\) in \(A\). There also exists a connected set \(A_{1}\subset A\) such that \(A_{1}\) has a finite volume \(V_{1}\) with \(x_{0}\in A_{1}\) and \(b(x) > {b_{0}}/{2}\) for \(x\in A_{1}\). We choose \(\phi \in \mathcal{D}(\varOmega )\) such that \(\phi (x)=1\) for \(x\in A_{1}\), \(\phi (x)\geq 0\) for \(x\in A\), and \(\phi (x)=0\) for \(x \notin A\). Then \(T(\phi )\geq {b_{0} V_{1}}/{2}\) (\(b\) and \(\phi \) do not change signs) which gives us a contradiction. So \(b=0\) for all \(x\in \varOmega -S\). The assumed sign of \(b_{0}\) is clearly of no consequence. A similar argument can be constructed to argue that \(c=0\).

Recall the identity \(\operatorname{div}_{S} (\boldsymbol{u}\times \boldsymbol{v})=\langle \operatorname{curl}_{S} \boldsymbol{u},\boldsymbol{v}\rangle -\langle \boldsymbol{u},\operatorname{curl}_{S} \boldsymbol{v} \rangle \), for \(\boldsymbol{u},\boldsymbol{v} \in C^{\infty }(S,\mathbb{R}^{3})\), to get

Use the skew part of the identity \(\nabla _{S} ({\partial \boldsymbol{\phi }}/{\partial n})= \nabla (\nabla \boldsymbol{\phi })\boldsymbol{n}-(\nabla (\nabla \boldsymbol{\phi })\boldsymbol{n}\otimes \boldsymbol{n})\otimes \boldsymbol{n} +\nabla \boldsymbol{\phi }\nabla _{S} \boldsymbol{n}\) to obtain \(\operatorname{curl}_{S}({\partial \boldsymbol{\phi }}/{\partial n})={\partial (\operatorname{curl}\boldsymbol{\phi })}/{\partial n}+( \nabla (\nabla \boldsymbol{\phi })\boldsymbol{n}\otimes \boldsymbol{n})\times \boldsymbol{n} + ax(\nabla \boldsymbol{\phi } \nabla _{S} \boldsymbol{n}-(\nabla \boldsymbol{\phi }\nabla _{S} \boldsymbol{n})^{T})\).

Consequently, \(\int _{S} \langle \boldsymbol{f} ,ax(\nabla \boldsymbol{\phi }\nabla _{S} \boldsymbol{n}-(\nabla \boldsymbol{\phi }\nabla _{S} \boldsymbol{n})^{T}) \rangle da =\)
$$ \int _{S} \bigl\langle \operatorname{div}_{S} ( \nabla _{S} \boldsymbol{n} \times \boldsymbol{f} )^{T}, \boldsymbol{\phi } \bigr\rangle da - \int _{\partial S - \partial \varOmega } \bigl\langle ( \nabla _{S} \boldsymbol{n} \times \boldsymbol{f})\boldsymbol{\phi }, \boldsymbol{\nu } \bigr\rangle dl + \int _{S} \kappa \bigl\langle ( \nabla _{S} \boldsymbol{n}\times \boldsymbol{f})\boldsymbol{\phi }, \boldsymbol{n} \bigr\rangle da. $$The desired identity follows upon combining the above results.

Appendix B: A Lemma for Theorem 2.2
A distribution \(T\in \mathcal{D}'(\varOmega )\) is said to be of order \(m\) if, for any compact set \(K \subset \varOmega \), there exists a finite \(M \in \mathbb{R}\) such that, for any smooth function \(\phi \) supported in \(K\), \(|T(\phi )| \leq M \varSigma _{|\alpha | \leq m} |\text{sup} ( \partial ^{\alpha }\phi )|\), where \(\partial ^{\alpha }\) denotes the \(\alpha \) order derivative of \(\phi \). In particular, \(T\) is of order 0 if \(|T(\phi )| \leq M |\text{sup} (\phi )|\).
Lemma B.1
For a\(\boldsymbol{T} \in \mathcal{D}'(\varOmega ,\mathbb{R}^{3})\), which satisfies\(\operatorname{Div}\boldsymbol{T}=0\), there exists\(\boldsymbol{u} \in C^{\infty } (\varOmega , \mathbb{R}^{3})\)and\(\boldsymbol{S} \in \mathcal{D}'(\varOmega ,\mathbb{R}^{3})\)such that
where\(\boldsymbol{T_{u}} \in \mathcal{D}'(\varOmega ,\mathbb{R}^{3})\)is given by\(\boldsymbol{T_{u}} (\boldsymbol{\phi })=\int _{\varOmega } \langle \boldsymbol{u}, \boldsymbol{\phi } \rangle dv\)for all\(\boldsymbol{\phi } \in \mathcal{D}(\varOmega ,\mathbb{R}^{3})\).
Proof
Consider a map \(H^{y} : [0,1]\times \mathbb{R}^{3} \to \mathbb{R}^{3}\) given by \(H^{y} (t,x)=x + t \psi (x) y\), where \(\psi \) is a smooth scalar field over \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\) such that \(\psi (x) = 0\) for \({x} \notin \varOmega \) but \(0<\psi \leq 1\), \(|\nabla \psi | \leq 1\) whenever \(x \in \varOmega \), and \({y} \in \mathbb{R}^{3}\) is such that \(|{y}| <1\). It can be shown that, for any \(t \in [0,1]\), \(H^{y} : [0,1] \times \varOmega \to \varOmega \). For \(\boldsymbol{\phi } \in \mathcal{D}( \varOmega ,\mathbb{R}^{3})\), we introduce
To check that \(\boldsymbol{S}^{y} \in \mathcal{D}'(\varOmega ,\mathbb{R} ^{3})\) it is sufficient to note that \({S}^{y}_{i}\) defines a linear functional on \(\mathcal{D}(\varOmega )\) and that a sequence of smooth functions \(\phi _{m}\) converging to 0 implies the convergence of \((\boldsymbol{\phi } (H^{y}(t,x)) \times y)_{i}\psi (x)\), and consequently of \({S}^{y}_{i}(\phi _{m})\), to 0. Moreover, for \(\boldsymbol{\phi } \in \mathcal{D}(\varOmega ,\mathbb{R}^{3})\), \(\operatorname{Curl}\boldsymbol{S}^{y} (\boldsymbol{\phi }) = \boldsymbol{S}^{y} (\operatorname{curl}\boldsymbol{\phi })=\)
which, on using \(\operatorname{Div}\boldsymbol{T}=0\) and \(H^{y} (0,x)=x\), yields
Let \(\rho \in C^{\infty }( \mathbb{R}^{3} )\) be a smooth function supported over a ball of unit radius, centred at the origin, such that it depends only on \(|\boldsymbol{x}|\) and satisfies \(\int _{\mathbb{R} ^{3}} \rho ({x}) dv =1\). Given \(\epsilon >0\), the function \(\rho _{\epsilon }= \epsilon ^{-3} \rho (x/{\epsilon })\) is supported in a ball of radius \(\epsilon \) such that \(\int _{\mathbb{R}^{3}} \rho _{\epsilon }({x}) dv =1\). For \(\boldsymbol{S} \in \mathcal{D}'( \varOmega ,\mathbb{R}^{3})\), defined as \(\boldsymbol{S}=\int _{B(0,\epsilon )} \boldsymbol{S}^{y} \rho _{\epsilon }(y) dv_{y}\), where \(B(0,\epsilon )\) is a ball of radius \(\epsilon \) centred at the origin, \(\operatorname{Curl}\boldsymbol{S}(\boldsymbol{\phi })= \int _{B(0,\epsilon )} \operatorname{Curl}\boldsymbol{S}^{y} ( \boldsymbol{\phi })\rho _{\epsilon }(y) dv_{y} =\)
We can henceforth write \(\operatorname{Curl}\boldsymbol{S}= \boldsymbol{T}_{1}-\boldsymbol{T}\), where \(\boldsymbol{T}_{1} ( \boldsymbol{\phi })= \boldsymbol{T} (\boldsymbol{\phi }^{\epsilon })\),
and \(z = x+\psi (x) y\). Since \(\rho _{\epsilon }\) is smooth, its derivatives remain bounded and the supremum norm of \(\boldsymbol{\phi }^{\epsilon }\) and all the partial derivatives of \(\boldsymbol{\phi }^{\epsilon }\) are controlled by the supremum norm of \(|\boldsymbol{\phi }|\). Therefore, there exist a \(\boldsymbol{u} \in C^{\infty } (\varOmega , \mathbb{R}^{3})\) such that \(\boldsymbol{T} _{1}=\boldsymbol{T_{u}}\) leading us to our assertion. □
