Stacks of crystal lamellae

Fig. 3.12 A stack of crystal lamellae, shown schematically. The separation determined by X-ray scattering is the repeat distance shown.

Fig. 24. Schematic representation of the possible deformation processes of a stack of crystal lamellae (a) the initial state, (b) interlamellar shear, (c) interlamellar separation, (d) intralamellar block shear, (e) intralamellar fine shear (not shown bending and rotation of lamellae), and (f) cavitation within the amorphous regions.
