D. Kuhlmann-wilsdorf et al., Deformation bands, the LEDS theory, and their importance in texture development: Part I. Previous evidence and new observations, MET MAT T A, 30(9), 1999, pp. 2491-2501
The present state of knowledge regarding '"regular" deformation bands (DBs)
is reviewed in the light of some recent observations on DBs in compressed
polycrystalline aluminum. These are slablike volume elements within which d
ifferent selections of slip systems operate, always fewer than required for
homologous deformation, in opposition to the assumption that grains deform
as units which are common to all, the Sachs, the Boas and Schmid, and the
Taylor/ Bishop and Hill models. The need for a better integration of this k
nowledge with not only the origin of deformation textures but also more gen
erally with the theory of plastic deformation is pointed out.
