Abstract
Symmetrical stress representation in the Stroh formalism for anisotropic elastic bodies is introduced and the range of its applicability is analysed. By making use of this stress representation new formulae for influence functions giving stresses in an infinite anisotropic medium subjected to a straight dislocation and a straight dislocation dipole are derived. The advantage of the new formulae is that they explicitly show the symmetrical structure of these influence functions not referred to previously. Relations of these influence functions to influence functions giving stresses and Airy stress function due to a straight wedge disclination, whose explicit expressions are also introduced, are derived. Application of these results in computation of stresses by the hypersingular and regularized Somigliana stress identities is discussed.
