Study of Active Slip Systems in a Process of Plastic Deformation of Polycrystals. III.--Behaviour of the Taylor Factor in the Case of Crystallographic Slip in Cubic Crystals

Cf. R., Mohr, and T., ibid., 1978, 11, 35. The boundaries of the regions within which a specific set of slip systems maximizes the Taylor factor M(g,q) are plotted in a sterographic triangle for several values of the contraction ratio q and an axially symmetric flow. For q=0.5 these boundaries are shown to be mostly circles on the unit sphere. --AA
