Abstract We develop a theory of large deformations of a crystal lattice as a generalization of linear equations of acoustic and optical modes of a complex lattice composed of two interpenetrating sublattices. We suggest a principle of internal translational symmetry with respect to mutual displacements of sublattices by an integer number of periods. Based on this principle, we assume that the force of interaction of the sublattices is a nonlinear periodic function.

We consider some solutions to new nonlinear equations with two characteristics scales and classify all solutions (periodic, increasing, localized). Analysis shows that the local density of the structural reorganization energy nontrivially depends on the dimension (plate thickness H). The fact that the curve has extrema (disappearing in the case of large macroscopic thicknesses) demonstrates conditions for the plate microstructure stability or instability depending on its dimension. This allows one to obtain criteria for the appearance or disappearance of nanoclusters depending on the external stresses and the conditions on the plate boundary.

We also consider the structural transitions at the points of instability, which result in the appearance of defects (interphase boundaries, dislocations, slip lines, small-angle boundaries), domain structures and other inhomogeneities (packing defects, clusters). We study the problem of effective properties of bodies with microstructure associated with the scale level of description.
Keywords nano-structure, defects, domains, plane boundaries, bifurcation transitions, scale effects, effective properties
