Applications of the Stereographic Projection - Slip
Slip is an important deformation mechanism, and as such, it is important to understand it. Slip is typically defined in terms of systems, containing both a slip plane and a slip direction. The use of a Wulff net allows these to be found easily given the tensile axis, following the procedure shown here:
