🔩 Edge Dislocation Glide (2D)

A 2D cross-section of a crystal lattice with a genuine edge dislocation: an extra half-plane of atoms that glides row by row under applied shear stress once it exceeds the Peierls stress.

⚙ Under the hood

An interactive 2D crystal lattice cross-section showing a real edge dislocation: the extra half-plane of atoms, the Burgers vector, and how the core glides row by row through the lattice once the applied shear stress exceeds the Peierls stress.
