Abstract
Tensile tests have been performed on whiskers of iron,copper, and silver 1.2 to 15 μ in diameter. The strongest whiskers which were less than 4 μ in diameter exhibited resolved elastic shear strengths of from two to six percent of their shear moduli. Stress‐strain determinations on iron have shown that large deviations from Hooke's law occur beyond two percent strain. As the whiskers increase in size, their strengths decrease with considerable scatter.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
