Abstract

Eshelby provided evidence that a glide dislocation can move without radiation of energy at √ 2 of the shear wave speed. Elaborating on Eshelby's result, a unified treatment of transonic cracks and dislocations is provided. The Eshelby theorem is generalized to orthotropic and anisotropic elastic solids using Stroh's method.
