How to Calculate and Solve for Partial Dislocation Separation | Fracture Mechanics

The image above represents partial dislocation separation. To calculate partial dislocation separation, four essential parameters are needed, and these parameters are Shear Modulus (G), Burger Vector (b2), Burger Vector (b3), and Stacking Fault Energy (γ).

The formula for calculating partial dislocation separation:

d = ^Gb₂b₃ / _2πγ

Where:

d = Partial Dislocation Separation
G = Shear Modulus
b₂ and b₃ = Burger Vectors
γ = Stacking Fault Energy

Let’s solve an example;
Find the partial dislocation separation when the shear modulus is 4. the burger vectors is 8 and 10, the stacking fault energy is 14.

This implies that;

G = Shear Modulus = 4
b₂ and b₃ = Burger Vectors = 8 and 10
γ = Stacking Fault Energy = 14

d = ^Gb₂b₃ / _2πγ
So, d = ^(4)(8)(10) / _2π(14)
d = ³²⁰ / _87.96
d = 3.64

Therefore, the partial dislocation separation is 3.64 m.
