Transient motion of an interfacial line force or dislocation in an anisotropic elastic bimaterial

A full-field dynamic solution of an interfacial line force or dislocation in bonded anisotropic elastic half-spaces is presented. The form of the solution resembles that of the corresponding static solution. The evaluation of the solution requires only the calculation of certain eigenvalue problems. Particular attention is given to the singular feature in the response associated with the interfacial Stoneley wave. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the characteristics of a pair of bonded misoriented half-spaces of GaAs.
