Abstract
An analytical expression for the strain-rate dependence of the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) (τ) of crystals with high intrinsic lattice friction has been derived within the framework of a kink-pair nucleation model of flow stress. It predicts a linear relationship between τ1/2 and at a given deformation temperature, as embodied in , where C and D are positive constants. Comparison of theory and experiment, using the wealth of data available in the literature, shows an excellent agreement between the predicted and the observed response of the CRSS to the strain rate. Evaluation of the low-temperature slip parameters of the model leads to identification of the slip system responsible for yielding of crystals.
