Abstract

Abstract A method is given for finding the equilibrium positions of a set of like dislocations in a common slip-plane under the influence of a given applied stress. Their positions are given by the roots of a certain set of orthogonal polynomials. The case of a set of free dislocations piled up against a fixed dislocation by a constant applied stress is discussed in detail and the resulting stress-distribution is compared with that produced by a crack with freely slipping surfaces.

A description is given of edge and screw dislocations in a close-packed cubic lattice, which leads up to an account of the theory of Frank and Read of the origin of slip bands. ...
