Abstract: | The physical system being studied here is an elastic dislocation in proximity to a material interface which has limited strength
in shear. The configuration is relevant to elastic strain relaxation in bonded thin-film semiconductor material structures.
A plane strain boundary value problem is formulated and an exact solution for the force on the dislocation versus distance
from the interface is obtained. If the dislocation is close enough to the interface, its stress field causes irreversible
slip across the interface. This slip, in turn, induces an attractive force on the dislocation. For the case of an edge dislocation
with Burgers vector normal to the interface, it is found that the dislocation has a stable equilibrium position at a small
distance from the interface.
