Description
Summary:Various possible and conceivable mechanisms of vacancy production in crystal during rapid deformation are considered, in attempt to explain how a large number of vacancy clusters can be produced with or without existence of dislocations during ultra-high-speed deformation of crystalline materials and to determine whether or not vacancy formation alone can effect deformation. Theoretical discussions mainly address the geometrical aspect of vacancy production, and are, therefore, neither quantitative in nature nor conclusive. Nevertheless, in connection with the present note, the author wishes to emphasize the importance of vacancy production in ultra-high-speed deformation of materials.
