Abstract
In the present paper, Mindlin's strain gradient theory of elasticity (form II) is utilized to determine the deformation and strain fields due to a straight screw dislocation that moves uniformly at a subsonic velocity in an infinite isotropic body. The theory employed herein, in addition to the effect of strain gradient, is capable of accounting for that of acceleration gradient through the incorporation of the micro-inertia term into the analysis of the problem. Integral representations are obtained for the displacement and strain fields, and it is shown that the utilization of the strain gradient theory for the continuum description of a moving screw dislocation leads to discarding the discontinuity of the induced displacement field, consequently resulting in the removal of the classical singularities of the associated strain and stress fields.
