The elastic fields of a line force or dislocation in an anisotropic wedge

An elasticity analysis for a line force or dislocation in an infinite anisotropic wedge is presented. A solution in integral form is derived by the Mellin integral transform method. It is shown that the solution integral can be expanded into eigenfunction series by residue theorem. The asymptotic fields as the radial distance approaches zero or infinity are discussed. © 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
