class representing the dislocation density or Nye tensor

The dislocation density tensor is the rank 2 tensor obtained from the curvatureTensor of an orientation field. Fitting it against a list of dislocationSystem gives the densities of geometrically necessary dislocations.

Syntax

alpha = dislocationDensityTensor(M,cs)
alpha = dislocationDensityTensor(kappa)

Input

M 3x3 matrix
cs crystal symmetry
kappa curvatureTensor

Output

alpha dislocationDensityTensor

Class Properties

M the tensor coefficients
rank always 2
CS symmetry the coefficients refer to
