← ScienceWhich mechanism amplifies dislocation movement within a crystal structure?
A)Frank-Read source actuation✓
B)Hall-Petch grain refinement
C)Kirkendall void diffusion
D)Snoek atmosphere segregation
💡 Explanation
The Frank-Read source creates new dislocations with existing ones because applied stress bows out a dislocation pinned at two points to nucleate more dislocation loops; therefore plasticity increases, rather than effects caused by grain boundaries.
