The present work has advanced the calculation method for determining the configuration of periodic dislocations in general interfaces, especially for three sets of dislocations that were usually unsolvable by other methods. In terms of a newly introduced reciprocal Burgers vector, bi, the configuration and the Burgers vector of the interfacial dislocations were related by a simple expression with general validity. Existing formulas for spacing of the dislocations in various special interfaces could be integrated in a concise form of D=1/|Δbi|.
