Abstract
The equilibrium positions of a dipole of edge dislocations embedded in a free-standing layer and symmetrically distributed with respect to the structure center has been theoretically investigated from a Peach–Koehler force analysis. A critical “size” ratio between the dislocation spacing and the layer thickness has been determined below which, in addition to the aligned stable configuration, two shifted dislocation configurations are present, one stable and one unstable. Beyond this critical ratio, only the unstable aligned configuration remains, demonstrating the combined effect of the spatial confinement and dislocation spacing on the dipole stability.
期刊介绍:
Mechanics Research Communications publishes, as rapidly as possible, peer-reviewed manuscripts of high standards but restricted length. It aims to provide:
• a fast means of communication
• an exchange of ideas among workers in mechanics
• an effective method of bringing new results quickly to the public
• an informal vehicle for the discussion
• of ideas that may still be in the formative stages
The field of Mechanics will be understood to encompass the behavior of continua, fluids, solids, particles and their mixtures. Submissions must contain a strong, novel contribution to the field of mechanics, and ideally should be focused on current issues in the field involving theoretical, experimental and/or applied research, preferably within the broad expertise encompassed by the Board of Associate Editors. Deviations from these areas should be discussed in advance with the Editor-in-Chief.
