The effect of cyclic uniaxial loading applied to surfaces of thin single crystal plates on dislocation structure is analyzed analytically and numerically. This work investigates detailed changes in dislocation structure near surfaces and in size and concentration of dislocation loops inside the crystal. The results may be helpful in choosing the optimum regime for material processing and in predicting material properties.
