Consider a single crystal of a cubic metal that is subjected to a tensile stress along the [0 1 2 ] direction.
Calculate the Schmidt factor for the following slip systems. In each case sketch the tensile axis as well as the slip plane and slip direction.
a) (0 -1 1) [0 1 1]
b) (1 0 1) [-1 -1 1]
c) (0 1 0) [ -1 0 1 ]
d) If the crystal above is subjected to an increasing applied stress, which of the systems above will undergo slip first. Explain your answer.
e) What is the value of the ratio t CRSS / (sigma)y at the point of slipping?
