On the Equations of Motion of Crystal Dislocations
On the Equations of Motion of Crystal Dislocations
Abstract
It is shown that when a Burgers screw dislocation moves with velocity
v it suffers a longitudinal contraction by the factor
(1-[(v2)/( c2)]), where c is the velocity of transverse
sound. The total energy of the moving dislocation is given by th
formula
E = E0 /(1-[(v2)/( c2)])1/2, where E0
is the potential energy of the dislocation at rest. Taylor
disloactions behave in a qualitatively similar manner,
complicated by the fact that both longitudinal and transverse
displacements and sound velocities are involved.
