The elastic strain energy of a unit length of an edge dislocation as compared to that of a screw dislocation is____________________?

Correct answer: A. More

  • A. More
  • B. Equal
  • C. Less
  • D. Double

Explanation

The elastic energy of an edge dislocation contains an additional factor of 1/(1−ν) compared with a screw dislocation. Since this factor is greater than one, an edge dislocation has greater energy per unit length.
