Abstract
AbstractExperimental investigations of the phenomenon of the elastic aftereffect of a number of metallic materials have been carried out. It was found that the time‐dependent deformation may be described by a power function of time with fractional index. A mathematical model that describes the elastic aftereffect on a basis of fractal ideas about the process of deformation is constructed. A concept of a fractal set of relaxation periods is offered as an explanation of the elastic stability of the crystals, – or of their instability, i.e., emergence of residual deformation under the influence of external stress on the crystal system.
