ABSTRACT: $T(3)$-gauge model of defects based on the gauge Lagrangian quadratic in the gauge field strength is considered. The equilibrium equation of the medium is fulfilled by the double curl Kr\"oner's ansatz for stresses. The problem of replication of the static edge dislocation along third axis is analysed under a special, though conventional, choice of this ansatz. The translational gauge equation is shown to constraint the functions parametrizing the ansatz (the stress functions) so that the resulting stress component $\sigma_{3 3}$ is not that of the edge defect. Another translational gauge equation with the double curl differential operator is shown to reproduce both the stress functions, as well as the stress tensors, of the standard edge and screw dislocations. Non-linear extension of the newly proposed translational gauge equation is given to correct the linear defect solutions in next orders. New gauge Lagrangian is suggested in the Hilbert--Einstein form.[ Full text: (.ps.gz)]
