Interaction between an edge dislocation near a circular void within the framework of the theory of strain gradient elasticity

The purpose of this paper was to consider an edge dislocation near a circular hole within the isotropic theory of gradient elasticity.The stress field is Incontinence/Single Use derived with the help of a stress function method.The gradient stresses possess no singularity at the dislocation line.As a result, the image force exerted on the dislocati
