Abstract

The explicit expressions for critical stress intensity factors are derived for edge dislocation emission from an elliptically blunt crack with surface effects under mode I and mode II loadings. The influence of surface effects on dislocation emission criterion is analyzed. The result indicates the impact of the surface stress becomes remarkable for nanoscale blunted cracks and some particular materials, which cannot only affect the value of the critical stress intensity factors for dislocation emission, but also alter the emission angle.
