Traditional continuum theory of elasticity becomes remarkably inaccurate in the vicinity of singularities, and when the size eect is of concern. For example in the study of ultra-small objects and ultra-thin lms, near defects, near point of application of a concentrated load and as such, the classical solutions are not reliable. This work focuses on determination of the elastic elds of an edge dislocation near the grain boundary of two perfectly bonded nano-size crystals. It is proposed to study this problem in the context of surface/interface elasticity, and incorporate the eect of the grain boundary on the elastic elds. In contrast to the surface/interface elasticity theory, traditional...
