Abstract
Arrays of intrinsic and extrinsic boundary dislocations located along the boundary parallel to the free surfaces of a bicrystalline foil are treated using anisotropic elasticity theory. The dislocations are equispaced along the boundary, and their elastic fields interact with the free surfaces. The problem is solved by using a method proposed previously by the author (Bonnet 1981) for periodic elastic fields. It is reduced to the inversion of a 24 × 24 array of linear equations; if one crystal is thick (semi-infinite), this array reduces to 18°18. The stability of the arrays of dislocations is discussed, and the elastic energy stored in a foil containing an array of intrinsic boundary dislocations is calculated.
