Abstract The purpose of this paper was to consider an edge dislocation near a circular hole within the isotropic theory of gradient elasticity. The stress field is derived with the help of a stress function method. The gradient stresses possess no singularity at the dislocation line. As a result, the image force exerted on the dislocation due to the presence of the hole remains finite when the dislocation approaches the interface. The gradient solution demonstrates a non-classical size effect.
