(a) The principle of the extended transverse contraction method. The material's elastic anisotropy is illustrated by the various symbols, which mark different directions in the crystal reference system {C} featuring different Young moduli Yhkl (calculated for austenitic steel). The slopes of the individual distributions vary within a range limited by the `hardest' (filled triangles) and `softest' (filled squares) crystal directions. (b), (c) Examples of plots calculated according to equation (6). For further details see text. |
