slow. Thus, to reduce the stress by 25 percent
from its value when the head of the tensile
machine moves at the rate of 1" per minute,
the head would have to move only 1" in about
100,000 years. Correspondingly, if the stress were
to be increased by 25 percent, the speed of the
head would have to be nearly that of light.

Sen ted as Fig. 11, confirm the relation of Eq. (4).
The "heat of activation" q is nearly the same for
all steels with carbon content greater than 0.08
percent, ranging from 90 to 120 calories/gram
mole.
It is to be expected that the shearing stress,
as measured in torsion experiments, will show
the same temperature dependence as the tensile
stress. All the data found in the literature are
plotted in Fig. 12, and are seen to lie upon
straight lines below room temperature. The
slopes of these lines are very nearly equal, and
lie within the range of slopes of the corresponding
tensile curves in Fig. 11.
In order to show the detailed dependence of
temperature, and hence of strain rate, upon the
whole of the strc&s-strain curve, the stress at
various strains 'liS. temperature is plotted in Fig.
13. The "heat of activation" q is seen to vary
from 70 to 130 calories/gram mole as the plastic
strain changes from 0.01 to 0.6.
S. ADIABATIC STRESS-STRAIN RELATION
Strain rate has been seen to have only a
very slight effect. upon the isothermal stress-
strain relation. However, a change from iso-
thermal to adiabatic deformation may be caused
by an increase in strain rate. In order completely
to describe the etTect of strain rate, it is, there-
fore, necessary to investigate the case where the
conditions arc adiabatic.
When the material undergoes an element of
strain dE adiabatically, the stress is raised by
the strain hardening, and lowered by the asso-

ciated rise in temperature. The rise due to strain
hardening may be obtained from the isothermal
stress-strain curve at the pertinent temperature.
The drop may be obtained from the known
temperature dependence, and from the associated
rise in temperature. An approximate estimate of
the temperature rise may be obtained by as-
suming that all the work of plastic deformation
is converted into heat. Actually about 15 percent
is retained as latent energy.1

By this method,
adiabatic curves have been constructed for the
steel represented in Fig. 13. The tensile curves
starting at various temperatures are reproduced
as Fig. 14.
At low temperatures, the adiabatic curves are
seen to be radically different from the isothermal
curves. They show an initial drop instead of a
continuous rise. The drop in stress due to the
rise in temperature more than compensates for
the rise in stress due to strain hardening.
Further, while the separation of the isothermal
curves is nearly independent of strain, the
adiabatic curves nearly converge beyond a strain
of 0.3.
The effect of passing from a slow isothermal
to a rapid adiabatic stress-strain curve is illus-
trated in Fig. 15 for the case of shear. The data
for the slow isothermal stress-strain curves have
been calculated. It is to be noted that the high
speed adiabatic curve is flat. This is in agreement
with impact torsion experiments.

6. DYNAMICAL CONSEQUENCES OF
ADIABATIC RELATIONS
A negative' stress-strain curve implies an
intrinsic instability of the material where defor-
mation cannot be homogeneous; for a region
which, by chance, suffers more deformation than
the surrounding region and becomes weakened
thereby, will continue to deform while the
surrounding region undergoes no further strain.
Examples of instability are well known. In mild
steel which has a "drop in load" at the initiation
of yielding, plastic deformation is at first con-
fined to localized regions called Liiders' bands.
After the maximum load is reached in a tensile
test, deformation is confined to a localized
region, the "neck."
Reference to Fig. 14 shows that in steels at
low temperatures, initial deformation must be
heterogeneous at rates of strain sufficiently high
to insure adiabaticity. Under these conditions,
a specimen in tension will initially contract
locally before the rest of the gauge length suffers
any deformation; a specimen in compression will
bulge locally before the remaining portion suffers
any plastic compression.
The authors have obtained such an instability
by using a standard type die to form a punching
in a plate. A very high strain rate, about 2000
sec.-I, was obtained by dropping a weight upon
the punch, thereby attaining a velocity of nearly
10 ft./sec., and by using a small clearance of
ls". An example is given in Fig. 16 of a case
where the punch penetrated only half way into
the plate. In this figure is shown a cross section
at 50 magnification, after a polish and etch, of
the region adjacent to the surface of a highly
localized shear strain. The plug, in lower half of
picture, is firmly joined to the plate, shown in
upper half of picture. The white band of metal
joining the punch and plate is martensite
(tetragonal lattice) which is characteristic of
steel rapidly quenched from the high temperature
face-centered phase. In the present case the
rapid quench was provided by the adjacent
material. The high temperature was attained by
the concentration of shear strain characteristic
of high speed shear deformation. Computation
shows that a shear strain of 5 would raise the
temperature 1000C. From a consideration of the
distance which the plug has been pushed (r)
and from the thickness of the white band
(1/800"), it is estimated that the material in
the white band has suffered a shear strain of
nearly 100.
