Interaction of a screw dislocation with a crack in an anisotropic body
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 January 2011
Abstract
The stress field, image force, and shielding effect of a screw dislocation in the vicinity of a Mode III crack were formulated for both semi-infinite and finite length cracks. The results show that there is an abnormal stress component, ŝ31, on the crack plane. This leads to a nonzero image force along the axis perpendicular to the crack plane when the dislocation is located on the crack plane. However, the abnormal stress component and image force disappear for orthotropic and isotropic media. The image force along a slip plane has the same expression as in isotropic media with an effective shear modulus. Generally the shielding effects are the same as in isotropic media. The anisotropy changes only the magnitude of the shielding effects. The case of multiple dislocations is also discussed.
