Which mechanism allows plastic deformation in crystalline materials?

A)Dislocation slip through interstitial sites
B)Grain boundary diffusion from high stress
C)Vacancy clustering causing embrittlement
D)Uniform elastic strain throughout volume

💡 Explanation

Dislocation slip governs plastic deformation. Because shear stress aligns with the Burger’s vector, dislocations propagate through areas with imperfect crystal lattices, rather than the crystal lattice remaining unchanged and undergoing elastic deformation. Therefore plastic strain occurs.
