Texture from Domain Switching of Tetragonal Zirconias

Although crystallographic textures are most often attributed to slip or twinning, textures from compression, tension, or grinding of tetragonal zirconias have been ascribed to ferroelastic domain switching. If consideration of this phenomenon is limited to the effect of switching, each deformation mode should have a particular textural result. In this paper a simple geometric model for texture from domain switching is proposed.
