Peach Kohler’s Equation: General equation for computing force due to applied stress on any dislocation

σij
σij Let σij be the stress acting on the crystal.
n Then on the slip plane with unit vector n, stress is σijn
Dislocation Force acting on the crystal slip plane for displacement dA
dL X dr
= F = σijn dA = σij |dL X dr| |dL X dr| = σij (dL X dr)
f b
Work done on the crystal = Wc = F.b = σij (dL X dr).b
e
Crystal Wc = σij (dL X dr).b
Slip Plane = σij 𝐛. (dL X dr) [for any symmetric tensor, (σx).y = (σy).x]

dL
dA = |dL X dr|
Work done on the dislocation line = Wd
dn dL X dr = ((Force/ length x dislocation line length).dislocation displacement)
dn = |dL X dr|
fL |dL| dr
Wd = (fL|dL|).dr
To move the dislocation,
dr
Work done on the = Work done on the crystal
dL = general dislocation line dislocation line (Wd) by the applied stress (Wc)
Let the segment of dislocation move by dr
dr = displacement of dislocation (fL|dL|).dr = (σij 𝐛 𝐗 dL).dr
n = unit normal to the plane of glide of the dislocation dL
fL = σij 𝐛 𝑿 |dL| = σij 𝐛 𝑿 e
𝒅𝑳
e = unit vector tangent to the dislocation line =
