Abstract

The yield stress of a specimen prestrained at 294 K increases only slowly or is constant up to a temperature above which the yield stress of a virgin specimen is greater. Above that temperature, the yield stress tends to increase as for a virgin crystal. For sufficiently high prestresses, the yield stress anomaly disappears completely. The results are interpreted in terms of a model in which the operation of Frank-Read sources is rate controlling.
