Abstract

Transient dislocation emission from a crack tip under dynamic mode III loading is analyzed. By taking into account the dynamic interaction between the crack and dislocation, the governing equation for the dislocation motion is derived under the quasi-steady assumption. The behavior of dislocation emission is explored in detail by solving this equation numerically. A critical initial speed can be determined, which must be exceeded by dislocations to escape from the crack tip. The dislocation emission process is found to be completed in such a short time period that the applied load may be approximately treated as constant during dislocation emission. Based on this fact, an asymptotic criterion for transient dislocation emission is developed, from which the critical initial speed can be evaluated. In the case that the dislocation is emitted from rest, we recover the quasi-static criterion of dislocation emission.
