The motion of a screw dislocation under the action of ultrasound was simulated with account taken of its cross slip in a spatially non-uniform stress field created by a fixed dislocation of the same sense. Only dislocations started from certain regions in the space were shown to undergo cross slip. The variations in the sizes and shapes of these regions with the ultrasound parameters, crystallographic orientation of the sample, and coefficient of dynamic viscosity were given.
