An exact elastic solution is derived in a decoupled manner for the interaction problem between an edge dislocation and a three-phase circular inclusion with circumferentially homogeneous sliding interface. In the three-phase composite cylinder model, the inner inclusion and the intermediate matrix phase form a circumferentially homogeneous sliding interface, while the matrix and the outer composite phase form a perfect interface. An edge dislocation acts at an arbitrary point in the intermediate matrix. This three-phase cylinder model can simultaneously take into account the damage taking place in the circumferential direction at the inclusion-matrix interface and the interaction effect between the inclusions. As an application, we then investigate a crack interacting with the slipping interface.

An exact solution is given for the stress field due to an edge dislocation embedded in a three-phase composite cylinder. The force on the dislocation is then derived, from which a set of simple approximate formulae is also suggested. It is shown that, in comparison with the two-phase model adopted by Dundurs and Mura (1964), the three-phase model allows the dislocation to have a stable equilibrium position under much less stringent combinations of the material constants. As a result, the so-called trapping mechanism of dislocations is more likely to take place in the three-phase model. Also, the analysis and calculation show that in the three-phase model the orientation of Burgers vector has only limited influence on the stability of dislocation. This behavior is pronouncedly different from that predicted by the two-phase model.

A three-phase composite cylinder model is utilized to study the interaction between screw dislocations and nanoscale inclusions. The stress boundary condition at the interface between nanoscale inclusion and the matrix is modified by incorporating surface/interface stress. The explicit solution to this problem is derived by means of the complex variable method. The explicit expressions of image forces exerted on screw dislocations are obtained. The mobility and the equilibrium positions of the dislocation near one of the inclusions are discussed. The results show that, compared to the classical solution (without interface stress), more equilibrium positions of the screw dislocation may be available when the dislocation is close to the nanoscale inclusion due to consider interface stress. Also, the mobility of the dislocation in the matrix will become more complex than the classical case.

This paper is concerned with the interaction of a piezoelectric screw dislocation with a semi-infinite dielectric crack in a piezoelectric medium with hexagonal symmetry. The solution of the considered problem is obtained from the dislocation solution of a piezoelectric half-plane adjoining a gas medium of dielectric constant ε0 by using the conformal mapping method. The intensity factors of stress, electric displacement and electric field and the image force on the dislocation are given explicitly. The effect of electric boundary conditions on the dislocation-crack interaction is analyzed and discussed in detail. The results show that ε0 only influences the electric displacement and electric field intensity factors and the image force produced by the electric potential jump.
