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 versus r data, and with the aid of this curve, determine the distance from
the dislocation where is 4000 psi, the shear stress at which an iron crystal will begin to
undergo slip.

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. With the aid of a computer determine the strain energy
per unit length of a screw dislocation as a function of the dislocation density , between
=1011 and =1018 m/m3.
