Solution
Solution
This problem calls for us to determine whether or not a metal single crystal having a specific orientation and of given critical resolved shear stress will yield.
We are given that = 30°, = 70°, and that the values of the critical resolved shear stress and applied tensile stress are 6 MPa and =15 MPa respectively.
R = cos cos = 15* cos 30 *cos 70 = 4.4429 Mpa
Since the resolved shear stress (4.4429 MPa) is less than the critical resolved shear stress
( 6MPa), the single crystal will not yield.
However, the stress at which yielding occurs is
y = /(cos cos ) = 6/ cos 30 *cos 70 =20.256 Mpa
necessary stress will be y =20.256 Mpa
