The strain energy of a dislocation normally varies as the square of its Burgers vector. One may see this by examining Eqs. 4.19 and 4.20. This relationship between the dislocation strain energy and the Burgers vector is known as Frank’s rule. Thus, if b= a{hkl}, where a is a numerical factor, then:
