at the macro continuum scales. This equation also shows that the LSGF reduces seamlessly to the CGF.

MSGF method for calculating the effect of defects and discontinuities in nanomaterials

If a lattice contains defects, its translation symmetry is broken. Consequently, it is not possible to express G in terms of a single distance variable R(L). Hence Eq. (10) is not valid anymore and the correspondence between the LSGF and the CGF, needed for their seamless linking breaks down. In such cases the MSGF links the lattice and
