Abstract
A model has been constructed in which small vibrations of dislocation line segments cause displacements in the point-imperfection distributions surrounding the dislocations. The energy lost through the motions of the point imperfections is observed as mechanical damping. The motion of the dislocations is obtained from the theory of Koehler. The Cottrell potential is taken as the interaction between dislocations and point defects.
