Synergetics of microplasticity

The synergetic approach to microplastic deformation is considered. The determining and subordinate variables correspond to the structural deformation and the defects, respectively, An inverse subordination principle is possible. The first subordination principle describes the microplastic deformation in the form of fragments. The second subordination principle describes the defects. Both situations are relevant to the physics of plastic deformation. Taking the spatial dependence into account allows the dimensions of the fragment and the defect core to be found.
