The interaction between micro- and macrocracks in a fine-grained piezoelectric coating/substrate under remote antiplane mechanical and in-plane electrical loadings was studied. The principle of superposition and a mapping function method was used to transform the fine-grained coating/substrate structure containing the screw dislocation and the edge interfacial crack into the right semi-infinite plane piezoelectric bimaterial with screw dislocation to simplify the problem. Furthermore, the electric field, displacement field, intensity factors, and image force of these two problems were established. In addition, numerical calculations were then given graphically to study the effects of the elastic modulus of the material, the size of the crack, the thickness of the coating, and the screw dislocation angle on the edge interface crack and dislocation.

In polyethylene single crystals pairs of black and white lines spaced 700-3,000Å apart, parallel to the [100] and [010] directions, have been identified as microsector boundaries. A microsector is formed when the plane of chain folding changes over a small distance within a polymer crystal. In order for the different types of folds to accommodate at the boundary between the 2 fold domains, a staggering along the chain direction and a rotation of the chains in the plane of the boundary occurs. The black-white contrast from a microsector boundary can be explained in terms of these chain rotations. We demonstrate that microsectors can terminate within the crystal and interpret the observed terminal strain contrast in terms of a screw dislocation dipole model.
