- When a dislocation moves under applied shear stress:
- Individual atoms move in directions parallel to the Burgers vector;
- The dislocation moves in a direction perpendicular to the dislocation line.
- An edge dislocation, therefore, moves in the direction of the Burgers vector and lies perpendicular to the burger vector.
- Whereas a screw dislocation moves in a direction perpendicular to the Burgers vector and lies parallel to burger vector.
