Abstract
In order to understand dislocation dynamics, first the geometric and elastic properties of dislocations have to be treated. The geometric features decide on the mode of dislocation motion. The elastic stress fields around the dislocations interact with the applied stress and stress fields of all the other defects in the crystal resulting in forces acting on the moving dislocations. These forces drive or impede the dislocation motion.
