Compression tests of single crystals are analyzed with respect to shear due to the friction at the loaded ends. This simple approach permits an explanation of the features associated with prism plane slip in sapphire (α-Al2O3), i.e., the shape changes of the specimens and the curvature of the glide planes. |
