Abstract
This paper presents conclusions concerning uniaxial deformations of single crystals. The dynamic deformations obtained from an experimental study of large amplitude compression waves in high-purity crystals of aluminium were shown to agree with the finite amplitude wave theory. It was also demonstrated that the aggregate theory of G. I. Taylor could be used to predict the same dynamic deformations of the single crystal study on the basis of the static compressive columnar multi-crystal and the static tensile polycrystalline deformation curves. The predominant deformation predicted from the static data was discovered to have a quadric temperature dependence.
