Exercise: Determination of the critical resolved shear stress for slip in cadmium
The following sequence of images shows slip in a cadmium crystal after deformation to 40 % and 100 % of its original length. By measuring the angles φ and λ at each stage of deformation, the slip geometry relationships l0 cos φ0 = l1 cos φ1 and l0 sin λ0 = l1 sin λ1 can be tested.
