critical resolved shear stress

  • 1Critical resolved shear stress — is the component of shear stress, resolved in the direction of slip, necessary to initiate slip in a grain. It is a constant for a given crystal. Tests have been conducted on single crystals of metals to measure the shear stress required to… …
