11 (a) Write a simple computer program that gives the shear stress of a screw dislocation as a
function of the perpendicular distance from the dislocation (see Eq. 4.8). Assuming the shear
modulus of iron is 86 GPa and the Burgers vector is 0.248 nm, use the program to obtain the
shear stress at the following values of r: 50, 100, 150, and 200 nm, respectively. Plot the
resulting τ versus r data, and with the aid of this curve, determine the distance from the
dislocation where τ is 4000 psi, the shear stress at which an iron crystal will begin to undergo
slip.
(b) To how many Burgers vectors does this distance correspond?

4.17 (a) Consider Eq. 4.19, which gives the strain energy per unit length of a screw
dislocation. Assume that one has a very large square array of long, straight, parallel
screw dislocations of alternating signs so that the effective outer radius r’ of the strain
field of a dislocation may be taken as 1/2√𝜌. With the aid of a computer determine the
strain energy per unit length of a screw dislocation as a function of the dislocation
density 𝜌, between 𝜌=1011 and 𝜌=1018 m/m3.
(b) Plot the line energy against the dislocation density. Assume that 𝜇=86 GPa and b=0.248
nm.
(c) Now plot the energy per unit volume as a function of , assuming that the former can be
equated to w, where w is the energy per unit length of the screw dislocations.
