Abstract

In the context of elastic dislocation theory, the glide of arbitrarily shaped dislocations near a free surface is simulated numerically. The simulation is made possible by utilizing a compact line-integral representation of the elastic field produced by a piecewise planar dislocation loop near a free surface. The interaction between a threading dislocation and a misfit dislocation in its path is simulated and the blocking effect is shown to be much more significant than found in simulations which neglect free surface effects.
