The Green’s function for an anisotropic elastic half-space that is bonded to a thin elastic material of different anisotropy subject to a line force and a line dislocation is presented. Also presented is the Green’s function for two different anisotropic elastic half-spaces that are bonded to a thin elastic material of different anisotropy subject to a line force and a line dislocation in one of the half-spaces. The thickness $h$ of the thin layer is assumed to be small compared with a reference length. Thus, instead of finding the solution in the thin layer and imposing the continuity conditions at the interface(s), we derive and apply effective boundary conditions for the interface between the layer and the body that take into account the existence of the layer.
