Abstract
Shear bands of 0.1 to 0.6 mm thick were produced in polystyrene by compression. These bands were studied by optical microscopy and surface profilometry. Both the as-deformed bands and the bands developed after annealing were investigated. Parameters such as the shear strain, step height and the height-to-base ratio of the band cross-section (ridges or valleys) were recorded.
