“…Recrystallization arising from high-strain-rate loading has been well documented by some investigators in steels (Glass and Moss in 1961, [177] Mataya and Carr in 1982, [178] Meyers and Xu, [63] Li et al, [179] Lins et al [180] ), in titanium (Meyers and Pak in 1986, [35] Xu and Meyers in 2003, [138] Chichili et al [38] ), in copper (Andrade et al in 1994, [181] Hines and Vecchio in 1995, [182] Murr et al in 1995, [183] and Hines et al in 1998, [184] ), in tantalum (Pappu et al in 1995, [185] Murr et al in 1994, [186] Nesterenko et al in 1997, [187] Meyers and Chen in 1995, [43,73] and Nemat Nasser et al [75] ), in aluminum-lithium alloys (Xu et al [77] and Meyers et al in 2000 [187,188] ), in Al/SiC p composites (Xu et al [162] ), and in Ni-Cu alloys (Li et al in 2000 [189] ). It is generally accepted that the deformation and associated temperature rise during high-strain-rate loading are, therefore, sufficient to produce new recrystallized grains in the shear bands, although it is not clear at present that this recrystallized microstructure develops simultaneously with deformation (dynamic recrystallization (DRX)) or subsequent to deformation (static recrystallization).…”
