A FGM layer sandwiched between two isotropic layers weakened by several interface cracks under antiplane loading is studied. This paper examines the modelling of cracks by distribution of strain nuclei along crack lines. In this investigation, the Volterra-type screw dislocation employed between FGM and an elastic layer. To solve the dislocation problem, the complex Fourier transform is applied...

the problem of several finite moving cracks in a functionally graded material is solved by dislocation technique under the condition of anti-plane deformation. by using the fourier transform the stress fields are obtained for a functionallygraded strip containing a screw dislocation. the stress components reveal the familiar cauchy singularity at thelocation of dislocation. the solution is empl...

In this paper, the solution of an isotropic hollow cylinder, with an isotropic coating, weakened by multiple radial cracks is studied. The hollow cylinder and its coating are under Saint-Venant torsional loading. The series solution is then derived for displacement and stress fields in the cross section of the cylinder containing a Volterra-type screw dislocation. The dislocation solution is em...

This paper contains a theoretical formulation of multiple interface cracks in two bonded dissimilar half planes subjected to in-plane traction. The distributed dislocation technique is used to construct integral equations for a dissimilar mediums weakened by several interface cracks. These equations are of Cauchy singular type at the location of dislocation, which are solved numerically to obta...

A procedure for line-shape analysis of broadened X-ray (or neutron) diffraction peaks is presented and specified for b.c.c. materials, which takes into account the effect of interfaces, internal stress of the 2nd kind and a dislocation distribution with weak defect correlation. Application of the technique is demonstrated by the estimation of dislocation densities in plastically deformed a-iron...

This work consists in a numerically evaluation of elastic fields distribution, caused by intrinsic dislocation networks placed at a nanometric trilayers interfaces, in order to estimate their influence on the surface topology during heterostructure operation. The organization of nanostructures is ensured by the knowledge of different elastic fields caused by buried dislocation networks and calc...

We have developed a technique that allows all five macroscopically observable grain boundary degrees of freedom to be characterized for a statistically significant number of interfaces. Using this technique, we have characterized 5 x 10 μm of grain boundary plane area in a 0.15 mm volume of MgO. The observations demonstrate that there is significant texture in the distribution of boundary plane...

We describe a case of isolated proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation in a 20 years old girl following trauma. Dislocation was reduced through a new and simple reduction technique after failure of classic reduction maneuver. This technique by using isokinetic movements lead to relax the fibular collateral ligament and allow the biceps tendon to snap the proximal end of the fibula back into the...
