Abstract
The edge dislocation void interaction was solved by G.Z.Ganeyev-T.E.Turkebaev in 1988. And in 1990 M.W.Charles studied the edge dislocation inclusion interaction by using Love's solution. However, those solutions are not easy to apply to more complex problems. In this paper, the interaction between an edge dislocation and a spherical inhomogeneity is solved analytically in terms of isotropic elasticity theory. The inhomogeneity is assumed to be perfectly bonded with the surrounding matrix. The problem is formulated in terms of Papkovich-Neuber displacement potentials. The effects of the stiffness ratio, inclusion size and aspect ratio on stresses near the inclusion and dislocation force are shown.
