ABSTRACT
The problem of the physical nature of the plastic deformation of solids in modern science is paradoxical. Studies with nearly two centuries of history (see, for example, [Lüders, 1860; Larmor, 1892]) did not lead to a complete understanding of the nature of this phenomenon. For comparison, I note that the publication of Planck’s work, It was not more than thirty years before the works of Heisenberg and Schrödinger who created the modern edition of quantum mechanics (Hund, 1980). The phenomenon of plastic deformation of solids turned out to be complex, and the reason for this complexity is caused by a combination of three factors.
