Exercise: Determination of the critical resolved shear stress for slip in cadmium 		previous | next

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 f and l at each stage of deformation, the slip geometry relationships l0 cos f0 = l1 cos f1 and l0 sin l0 = l1 sin l1 can be tested.
