Line and Point Defects in Nonlinear Anisotropic Solids

Abstract

In this paper, we present some analytical solutions for the stress fields of nonlinear anisotropic solids with distributed line and point defects. In particular, we determine the stress fields of i) a parallel cylindrically-symmetric distribution of screw dislocations in infinite orthotropic and monoclinic media, ii) a cylindrically-symmetric distribution of parallel wedge disclinations in an infinite orthotropic medium, iii) a distribution of edge dislocations in an orthotropic medium, and iv) a spherically-symmetric distribution of point defects in a transversely isotropic spherical ball.
