Electroplastic phenomenon has been demonstrated by that the elongation increases remarkably during deformation under electric current without a significant elevation of temperature due to Joule heating. Since 1960s, electroplasticity actively investigated; however, an exact explanation mechanism lacking. In this study, origin in metallic materials is elucidated based on first principle calculation, finite element simulation and experimental approaches. First calculations system includes...
