Abstract

It is shown that the presence of residual strain energy necessarily results in a lowering of the overall tensile and shear moduli, and a quantitative relation is derived between the density of residual strain energy and the decrease in tensile and shear moduli. An interpretation is thereby given to the recent observations of Köster that solute atoms of only a small solubility lower the tensile modulus when they are atomically dispersed.
