Abstract

The electroplastic effect in materials is an interesting and potentially useful phenomenon in which an applied electric field affects the plastic flow properties of materials under strain. We have undertaken a study to use optical methods to monitor changes in alkali halide crystals undergoing the electroplastic effect. Some preliminary results from this work are presented along with more conventional quasi-static measurements of the electroplastic effect.
