Screw Dislocation Interacting with Elastic Elliptical Inhomogeneity Including a Confocal Rigid Core

Screw dislocation interacting with imperfect interface

The study of dislocations interacting with interfaces is of great interest to understand the strengthening and hardening mechanisms in materials. Most of the existing results in this field dealt with perfect interfaces where the displacements are continuous across interfaces. In reality, however, due to damage of interfaces or other reasons, the displacements across interfaces could have a jump...

Screw dislocation interacting with interface and interfacial cracks in piezoelectric bimaterials

Interface and interfacial cracks interacting with screw dislocations in piezoelectric bimaterials subjected to antiplane mechanical and in-plane electrical loadings are studied within the framework of linear piezoelectricity theory. Straight dislocations with the Burgers vector normal to the isotropic basal plane near the interface or interfacial crack are considered. The dislocations are chara...

Screw dislocation interacting with twin interfacial edge cracks between two bonded dissimilar piezoelectric strips

This paper is concerned with the electroelastic potentials and the fracture parameters of a twinedge-cracked piezoelectric bimaterial strip with a screw dislocation. By means of conformal mapping technique and the known dislocation solution, the antiplane displacement and inplane electric potentials are obtained in closed-form. The intensity factors and the energy release rate are extracted exp...

Screw Dislocation Interacting with Interfacial Edge-Cracks in Piezoelectric Bimaterial Strips

This paper is concerned with the interaction between an interfacial edge-crack and a screw dislocation under out-of-plane mechanical and in-plane electric loading in a piezoelectric bimaterial strip. In addition to a discontinuous electric potential across the slip plane, the dislocation is subjected to a line-force and a line-charge at the core. Under the framework of linear piezoelectricity, ...
