2D Edge Dislocation Glide: Burgers Vector & Slip-Plane Motion

This 2D companion to the 3D dislocation-slip sim draws the same closed-form edge-dislocation elastic displacement field directly onto a flat atom grid: applied stress, yield stress, temperature and lattice spacing are all live sliders, a moving core glides continuously above yield or thermally hops below it, and a stress vs. plastic-strain graph tracks the permanent deformation left behind after each slip event — making the atomic mechanism of plastic deformation, and why real crystals yield roughly a thousand times below their theoretical strength, directly visible.
