A computer-aided X-ray rocking curve analyzer (CARCA) was developed to map and analyze rapidly the distribution of plastic and elastic strains in deformed single crystals. Double-notched silicon crystal, tensile deformed at 800 C, was selected as a model material. For small stresses the interaction effects of the strained plastic zones were negligible. With increased deformation interaction of microplasticity caused modifications of the characteristics of the plastic zones at the notch tips. The microplastic trajectory of the internotch zone outlined the future fracture path at an early stage of deformation. The observed decrease of micrplasticity with depth from the surface is explained both from the micro and macromechanics viewpoint.
