The paper established a model to investigate the interaction between the special rotational deformation and a semielliptical blunt crack in deformed nanocrystalline materials. By using the complex variable method, the effect of a disclination quadrupole produced by the special rotational deformation on the emission of lattice dislocation from a semielliptical blunt crack tip was explored theoretically. The complex form expression of the dislocation force was derived, and the critical stress intensity factors (SIFs) for the first edge dislocation emission were calculated. Then, the influence of...
