Abstract

We use the method of continuously distributed dislocations to study the distribution of screw dislocations in a single-ended linear array piled up against a coated circular inhomogeneity under uniform remote anti-plane shear stress. A singular integral equation is derived and solved numerically using the Gauss–Chebyshev integration formula to arrive at the dislocation distribution function and the number of dislocations in the pileup. In addition, we use the proposed solution method to solve the case corresponding to a double-ended pileup of screw dislocations against a coated circular inhomogeneity.
