Abstract
The behavior of screw dislocations emitted from a star crack with a central hole was investigated using discrete dislocation modeling. Cracks are uniformly distributed along the circumference of a circular hole. Dislocations are assumed to be emitted one by one from the crack tips along the radial direction. Each emitted dislocation moves along the radial direction and its velocity is proportional to the third power of the effective shear stress. A dislocation-free zone exists based on the assumption that the crack tip must overcome an energy barrier to emit a dislocation. The effects of the central hole, slit crack, number of cracks and applied stress on the plastic zone, total number of dislocations emitted from all crack tips and the first crack tip, and the dislocation-free zone were studied for a given friction stress.
