EFFECT OF PLASTIC-DEFORMATION ON THE ELECTRICAL-RESISTIVITY OF METALS

Results from measurements of the electrical resistivity of copper and aluminum conductors under the action of a plane shock wave, and also a nalysis of the relationship between the electrical resistivity and the hydrostatic pressure and of the theoretical temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity, has made it possible to elucidate the rol e of defect formation due to the plastic deformation of the metal and to determine its contribution to the increase in electrical resistivit y of the metal. It has been established that the concentration of defe cts depends on the pressure gradient in a plane shock wave.
