Abstract

A new finite element method for accurately modelling the displacement and stress fields produced by a dislocation is proposed. The methodology is based on a local enrichment of the finite element space by closed form solutions for dislocations in infinite media via local partitions of unity. This allows the treatment of both arbitrary boundary conditions and interfaces between materials. The method can readily be extended to arrays of dislocations, 3D problems, large strains and non-linear constitutive models. Results are given for an edge dislocation in a hollow cylinder and in an infinite medium, for the cases of a glide plane intersecting a rigid obstacle and an interface between two materials.
