Abstract

The magnetoelectroelastic solution of a generalized screw dislocation interacting with a wedge-shaped magnetoelectroelastic bi-material interface is derived in this paper. The screw dislocation is assumed to be straight and infinitely long in the z-direction and suffers a finite discontinuity in the displacement, electric potential and magnetic potential across the slip plane. The explicit closed-form analytical solution for the generalized stress field is derived by means of the complex variable and conformal mapping methods. The generalized stress intensity factors of the wedge tip induced by the dislocation and the image force acting on the dislocation are formulated and calculated. The influence of the wedge angle and the different bi-material constant combinations on the image force is discussed. Numerical examples for three particular wedge angles are calculated and compared with other available results.
