Abstract
We discuss the theoretical solution to the differential equations governing accelerating edge dislocations in anisotropic crystals. This is an important prerequisite to understanding high-speed dislocation motion, including an open question about the existence of transonic dislocation speeds, and subsequently high-rate plastic deformation in metals and other crystals.
