A moving screw dislocation in transversely isotropic magnetoelectroelastic materials

The study of dislocations is of great interest for understanding the strengthening and hardening mechanisms in materials. A magnetoelectroelastic material containing a moving screw dislocation is considered using an extended version of the Stroth formalism. A complex-variable method is applied to obtain closed-form solutions. The present solutions, which contain previously known results as special cases, may be of great help in analyzing the reliability of devices made from these advanced materials.
