Abstract

In this paper, we develop an efficient numerical method based on the boundary integral equation formulation and new version of fast multipole method to solve the boundary value problem for the stress field associated with dislocations in a finite medium. Numerical examples are presented to examine the influence from material boundaries on dislocations.
