The definition of the two coordinate systems used for the characterization of in-plane elastic strains using the sin2ψ method: sample system S and laboratory system L (Noyan & Cohen, 1987). The X-ray elastic strain along the direction (which is parallel to the diffraction vector ) is characterized by measuring the reflection hkl. The orientation of the vector with respect to is defined by the angles φ and ψ. The direction cosines aij in equation (6) represent a transformation from S to L coordinate systems. |
