Stress Coupling Effect on Ideal Shear Strength: Tungsten as a Case Study

Figure 3

Evolution of the normal strains (open symbols) and (solid symbols) in the W crystal during shear straining. The circles illustrate evolution of the strains during the pure shear. The squares and triangles display the data points corresponding to superimposed hydrostatic and uniaxial stresses of −20 GPa, respectively.
