Nanomechanics of a screw dislocation in a functionally graded material using the theory of gradient elasticity

Materials Science 2010-12-24 v1

Abstract

The modest aim of this short article is to provide some new results for a screw dislocation in a functionally graded material within the theory of gradient elasticity. These results, based on a displacement formulation and the Fourier transform technique, extends earlier findings (Lazar, M., 2007. On a screw dislocation in a functionally graded material, Mech. Res. Comm. 34, 305-311) obtained by the stress function method, to the case of the second gradient elasticity. Rigorous and easy-to-use analytical expressions for the displacements, the strains and the stresses are obtained which are free from singularities at the dislocation line.
