Dislocation emission from a crack tip along an inclined direction from the crack plane results in blunting of the crack tip. A dislocation free zone (DFZ) is formed. Additional dislocations are emitted from the blunt crack tip. The solution for the problem of dislocation pileup at a blunt crack tip with a DFZ has been obtained by applying the extended Wiener-Hopf technique to the pileup integral equation. A DFZ theory of fracture was developed earlier for the dislocation generation versus brittle fracture at the crack tip along the plane of the crack. This solution has been used to derive the critical K values for the inclined dislocation emission versus brittle extension at the blunt crack tip.
