Caption

A dipole moment of positive and negative wedge disclinations—the “the other side of the coin” of a single edge dislocation indicated by the replacement of affine connections. The inverted “T” marks the edge dislocation, whereas the triangles represent the wedge disclinations. The curved lines depict the deformation field characterizing the metric generated by the wedge disclinations.
