boundaries. The following restriction is introduced in relation to the
plate's elastic properties: the medium has a plane of elastic symmetry
perpendicular to the dislocation line. The selection of the coordinate
system and position of the dislocation are shown in Fig. 1. The re-
quirement is to find the stresses and displacements at an arbitrary
point in the plate.
One limited special form of this problem has been solved by
Kroupa [1]. The limitations which he introduced are as follows: the

medium is isotropic, the dislocation is at the precise center of the
band and the Burgers vector has only one component b2 differing from

Thus Kroupa's results can be obtained from the results of the b y t h e f u n c t i o n s f l ( z l ) , f2(z2) a n d t h e e l a s t i c m o d u l i

the medium has a plane of elastic symmetry perpendicular to the dis-

divided into two stages, corresponding to edge and screw disloea~ions. ~* (x, h) = -~.~~ (z, h),

which determine this field are given in integral form (1.9) is extremely t i
difficult. As a result, the basic problem is whether the (1.9) integrals
can be expressed in explicit form by elementary functions.
in calculating the integrals it is naturai to reSort to contour in-
tegxation in the complex domain, but the first essential for this is to
establish the A(k) function zero distribution with complex k's, since
these zeros are the integrand poles. Since A(k) has innumerable zeros,
when we calculate the integral we obtain a series in which each term ~s (y -- yo)/ --
corresponds to the residue of the integrand at the corresponding denom-
inator zero.
in general, however, i . e . , with aribtrary Pl and ~z, it is impos- --3~t[--ix§ ~18 ( y 4- 3yo)12eth
