Abstract

A kinetic theory of correlation interaction in an ensemble of edge dislocations is developed taking into account the effects of the fluctuation dynamics of dislocations. Equations of evolution of a dislocation ensemble are derived including the correlation interaction between dislocations. A criterion of instability of a uniform dislocation distribution is established. It is shown that the nucleation of spatially nonhomogeneous dislocation structures due to correlation instability is mainly determined by the specific features of the elastic interaction between dislocations and depends only slightly on the mechanism of dislocation kinetics. The theory is applied to calculating the dispersion of an internal stress field.
