Deformation of diamond anvils at ultrahigh pressure. Left: imaging of stress and deformation from a combined radiography and microdiffraction showing the elastic cupping of a bevelled anvil. The lower image is detail of the tip (Hemley, Mao et al., 1997). Right: two-dimensional view of the deformation and pressure distribution obtained by finite-element modeling of the experimental observations (Merkel et al., 1999). |
