Abstract

The interaction between a piezoelectric screw dislocation and an interphase layer in piezoelectric solids is theoretically investigated. Here, the dislocation located at arbitrary points inside either the matrix or the inclusion and the interfaces of the interphase layer are imperfect. By the complex variable method, the explicit solutions to the complex potentials are given, and the electroelastic fields can be derived from them.
The image force acting on the dislocation can be obtained by the generalized Peach- Koehler formula. The motion of the piezoelectric screw dislocation and its equilibrium positions are discussed for variable parameters. The important results show that, if the inner interface of the interphase layer is imperfect and the magnitude of degree of the interface imperfection reaches the certain value, two equilibrium positions of the
piezoelectric screw dislocation in the matrix near the interface are found for the certain material combination which has never been observed in the previous studies (without considering the interface imperfection).
