Dynamic recrystallization of olivine single crystals during high‐temperature creep

High‐temperature creep experiments were made on olivine single crystals under compressional stress to large strains. At strains larger than about 40 to 60%, dynamic recrystllization occurs and cellular wall dislocation structure is formed. Recrystallized grain size dg(µm) and cell wall spacing ds(µm) are dependent upon applied stress σ(MPa) as: and
