Abstract

The dynamics of dislocations at yield can be understood within the framew ork of the depinning transition of elastic manifolds in random media. Close to the threshold stress for their long-range motion, the geometry and dynamics of dislocations are characterized by a set of critical exponents. We consider a single flexible dislocation gliding through a random stress field, taking in to account long-range self stresses, and estimate the critical stress where depinning takes place. Simulations of a discretized lattice model confirm the analytical estimate and yield numerical values of the critical exponents which are in agreement with theoretical predictions for an elastic string mo ving on a plane.
