Dislocation mechanism of the initial stage of plastic deformation of polyethylene

  • Published:
Polymer Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

A unified treatment of the initial stages of the plastic deformation of the polyethylene single crystal — phase transformation from the orthorhombic to the monoclinic lattice, twinning, and crack formation — is proposed. This treatment, which makes use of dislocation theory, is based on an analysis of experiments on the deformation of the polyethylene single crystal.
