Editing Dislocation (section)

==== Dislocation Velocity ====
Dislocation velocity is largely dependent upon shear stress and temperature, and can often be fit using a power law function:<ref>{{Cite book|last=Soboyejo|first=Wole|title=Mechanical properties of engineered materials|date=2003|publisher=Marcel Dekker|isbn=0-8247-8900-8|chapter=7.3 Dislocation Velocity|oclc=300921090}}</ref>

::<math>v = A\tau^m</math>

where <math>A</math> is a material constant, <math>\tau</math> is the applied shear stress, <math>m</math> is a constant that decreases with increasing temperature. Increased shear stress will increase the dislocation velocity, while increased temperature will typically decrease the dislocation velocity. Greater phonon scattering at higher temperatures is hypothesized to be responsible for increased damping forces which slow the dislocation movement.
