Abstract
A simple (one-parameter) hardening law is proposed which accounts for the perpetuation of finite single slip, beyond the symmetry line, in the tensile test of f. c. c. crystals and reduces to Taylor's rule at infiniteimal strain. This new law emerges as the simplest case of a general mathematical theory of deformation of elastic-plastic crystals. The fully anisotropic finite-distortional hardening of latent slip systems predicted by the simple theory is in qualitative agreement with experiment.
