Abstract
BRENNER1 has shown that copper whiskers can be strained elastically to as much as 2.8 per cent in tension. I have found that similar whiskers remain elastic in cantilever bending at static strains up to 4 per cent corresponding to a stress of 470 kgm./mm.−2 in a whisker of 〈 110 〉 orientation.
