Text Problems: 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.6 (Very important one on Dislocations especially #8) 5. a. Show that the shear stress produced on a slip plane by an edge dislocation (b1=b1i and t=k) on a Gb sin4 , where h (=r sin) is the parallel plane at coordinates r, is given by, xy = 8(1-) h perpendicular distance between the parallel planes. (text 5-13). b. Show that the stresses are zero at = /4 and /2, and that the stresses are positive for between 0 and /4 and negative between /4 and /2. (hint: rewrite the equation in terms of r). 6. a. Show that a perfect dislocation, a 2 [110] , in an fcc lattice splits into two Shockley partials with Burgers vectors of a 6 < 11 2 > -type. (Write down the equation) b. Are the Schockley partials glissile or sessile? (why) a c. A Shockley partial, a 6 < 11 2 > , reacts with a Frank partial, 3 [111] , to yield a perfect dislocation. What is the Burgers vector of the product dislocation? Show that this reaction is valid. (see Fig. 5.12 in Hull and Bacon. These reactions lead to unfaulting of faulted loops.) d. Frank partial dislocations are prismatic dislocation loops (with stacking faults) with a 3 [111] . Are these glissile or sessile dislocations (explain)?
