Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the collective nucleation of glide dislocation loops under the bias of a high shear stress. It introduces the concept of an ‘induced’ stress field associated with the planar distribution of glide dislocation loops. It shows that, due to the ‘induced’ field, glide dislocations nucleate in a collective, self-catalytic fashion at critical stresses and temperatures.
