In the first, dislocation climb is directly observed under a compression normal to the layers. Two regimes of climb are evidenced. In the second study, lamellar phases are sheared in a rotating rheometer. Gliding screw dislocations carry a vorticity tensor component, which counterbalances plastically the applied vorticity. The similarities and differences between dislocation processes in solid and lamellar liquid crystals are discussed. %G English %L hal-00020027 %U https://hal.science/hal-00020027 %~ UNIV-PARIS7 %~ UPMC %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-PICARDIE %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ IMPMC %~ ALLINSP %~ LCVN %~ UPMC_POLE_2 %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ SORBONNE-UNIVERSITE %~ SU-SCIENCES %~ UNIV-PARIS %~ U-PICARDIE %~ LPMC-UPJV %~ ALLIANCE-SU %~ UM1-UM2
