Summary

It was found that plastic deformation always starts at the cryoprobe surface; however, plastic deformation may also be formed near the freezing front at high cooling rates and large cryoprobes. It is demonstrated that under some conditions plastic deformation may occur in the entire frozen region. A parametric study to identify the best cooling protocol for maximal plastic deformation is presented.
