Abstract
Long range internal stresses (LRIS) are often used to explain various aspects of the mechanical behavior of materials. Recent experiments by the authors indicate an absence of measurable LRIS. X-ray line asymmetry, however, has long been interpreted as an argument in favor of the existence of LRIS. The literature in this area are reanalyzed and new computer simulations of diffraction peaks in dislocated crystals are discussed. It was found that there is more than one explanation for x-ray line asymmetry, and that LRIS is not required.
