In this Note II we continue the analysis of the phenomenon of mechanical twinning that we began in a preceding Note I. Furthermore, we point out some fundamental properties useful in the study of growth twins, for which a fully comprehensive thermoelastic theory is not yet available.
In the present Note I and in a following Note II (Zanzotto 1988), we discuss, taking into account some available experimental data, the results of a thermoelastic theory of twinning in crystalline solids. Various noteworthy problems emerge, some of which involve the hypotheses that are at the very basis of the theory.
