Understanding the mobility of twinning dislocations is important for multiscale modeling of crystal plasticity, especially at high strain rates, where such dislocations may reach transonic or supersonic speeds. Here, we used molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the relationship between dislocation velocity and the applied resolved shear stress of an edge twinning dislocation in copper up to supersonic speeds. The twinning dislocation mobility relation is composed of two branches separated by a band of forbidden velocities. The lower velocity branch is limited by the first transverse sound speed ~2000 m/s while the upper branch stretches from ~3500 m/s in the transonic regime to supersonic velocities. Twinning dislocations cannot undergo uniform steady-state motion at velocities within the forbidden band. Our simulation results also reveal that edge twinning dislocation motion in copper is kink-mediated. We discuss the implications of our findings for the motion of twins, twinning dislocations, and twinning dislocation kinks in copper.
