Abstract
A set of rules has been developed that allows for an exact description of various types of dislocation configurations in solids. These rules are in the form of conservation laws that exist between six uniquely defined Burgers vectors. Whereas four such laws are required for a lattice dislocation, the number may increase to as many as seven for a grain boundary dislocation. These findings are shown to be directly applicable to recent high-resolution electron microscopy observations of grain boundaries.
