Abstract: | We consider the anti-plane shear deformation of a three-phase inhomogeneity-coating-matrix composite containing a coated non-elliptical inhomogeneity whose surrounding matrix is subjected to the action of a screw dislocation and uniform remote anti-plane shear stresses. Our objective is to establish conditions under which the inhomogeneity maintains an internal uniform stress field. Our analysis, which is based on a carefully chosen conformal mapping function, clearly indicates that such an internal uniform stress distribution can be achieved independently of the action of the screw dislocation, which influences the shape of the inhomogeneity depending on its proximity to the dislocation. In fact, we find that when the screw dislocation is located far from the coated inhomogeneity, the corresponding material interfaces become two confocal ellipses as reported previously in the literature. A simple criterion for the convergence of the series in the conformal mapping function is established. |
