In previous work, stress-strain curves for the atomic lattice of certain metals have been obtained from X-ray diffraction measurements of the lattice dimensions of test specimens under tension or compression, and it has been shown that when the external yield stress is exceeded, there is a systematic departure from Hooke’s Law. It is pointed out in the present paper that this departure indicates that the external applied stress above the yield is no longer balanced primarily by simple displacement of the atoms but also by a new type of secondary internal stress brought about by the process of plastic flow; and that this secondary stress, being of a permanent nature, can be measured by the residual lattice strains exhibited by the lattice after removal of the external stress. These residual strains are measured in various directions to the stress direction for mild steel subjected to tension, and it is shown that the lattice after tension exhibits a longitudinal compression and a transverse expansion in the ratio of 2:1, which means that the density of the material is thereby kept constant. Comparisons of X-ray and mechanical measurements further show that the hysteresis loop exhibited by the external stress-strain curve of mild steel after overstrain can disappear and the linear elastic relation be recovered without any corresponding change in the internal stress, which is therefore a more fundamental physical property. It is also shown that when the elastic range is extended by overstrain in tension, there is no symmetrical increase in the elastic range in subsequent compression, thus confirming the existence and direction of the secondary internal stress. Finally, the lattice stress-strain curves are also obtained for a 0.4 % C steel (partially pearlitic) and a 0.8 % C steel (pearlitic), and by comparison with the results on pure iron and 0.1 % C steel (annealed) it is shown that the maximum residual internal strain developed by the lattice increases markedly with the fineness to which the crystallites can be broken down by the plastic deformation.

ABSTRACT Strain-induced crystallization (SIC) and stress–strain relations of varied crosslink structures and varied crosslink densities of vulcanized natural rubber (NR), vulcanized synthetic polyisoprene rubber (IR), and un-vulcanized natural rubber are compared using a synchrotron X-ray. The onset strain of SIC does not depend on crosslink density and crosslink structures. Un-vulcanized NR shows a smaller onset strain of SIC than that of vulcanized NR. Therefore, entanglements in NR are pivot points to induce SIC, just as entanglements in semi-crystalline plastics induce flow-induced crystallization (FIC). During deformation, complicated phenomena occur simultaneously such as cavitation, crosslink breakdown, SIC with temperature upturn, and limited extensibility of chains between crosslinks, because rubber is a significantly inhomogeneous material. It is still difficult to evaluate the contribution of SIC to stress-upturn of the stress–strain relation of rubber.

On evaluating lattice strain-depth or stress-depth profiles with X-ray diffraction, the variation of the information depth while combining various tilt angles, in combination with lattice spacing gradients leads to artefacts, so-called ghost or fictitious stresses. X-ray diffraction lattice-strain analysis was simulated for a model stress-depth profile combined with a composition-depth profile. Two principally different methods were investigated for the reconstruction of the actual stress and composition profiles from the simulated data: - considering the stress/strain determined at a specific depth as a weighted average over the actual stress/strain depth profile - considering the lattice spacing determined at a specific depth, for a specific value for as a weighted average over the actual lattice spacing profile for this direction. On the basis of the results it is possible to propose a preferred method for the evaluation of stress/strain and composition profiles, while minimising the risk for ghost stresses.

ABSTRACTThe mechanical response of a specimen incorporating thin films is dictated by a combination of fundamental mechanical parameters such as Young's moduli of the individual layers, and by configurational parameters such as adhesion strength at the interface(s), residual stress distribution and other process dependent factors. In most systems, the overall response will be dominated by the properties of the (much thicker) substrate. Failure within the individual layers, on the other hand, is dependent on the local strain distributions and can not be predicted from the substrate values alone. To better understand the mechanical response of these systems, the strain within the individual layers of the thin film system must be measured and correlated with applied stresses. Phase selectivity of X-ray stress/strain analysis techniques is well suited for this purpose. In this paper, we will review the use of the traditional x-ray stress/strain analysis methods for the determination of the mechanical properties of thin film systems.
